Thats what I needed to know, so I didnt damage it prying it off.
As suspected it was melted to white half.
No obvious corrosion there. Two black wires into that connection.
Whats been going on?

Hey, thought I would post in here as I am having a similar problem. I took by dash out to fix some rot on the screen. When I re-assembled I had no wipers, washer, heater fan problem. 

I checked the voltage at the load reduction relay. I had power on the 30 pin, but switching the ignition on did not provide any power to the 85 pin of the relay. 

Thus, I diagnosed the problem as being the switch. I bought a new switch and installed it, but this didn't seem to work either. I have swapped the relay with another one just to be certain. 

I am a bit stumped, I can't seem to see anything wrong with the harnesses connecting the fuse board. Could this somehow be related to having someone weld on the car?

Also forgot to mention 86 Diesel T3, 

If I jump the relay 30-87, I can get everything to work. So somehow it seems like the power from the 15 curcuit is not getting to the relay?
