Wiper problem

Can anyone tell me if the S5 and S4 switch are interchangeable? I'd love to pick up a spare incase I screw up somehow.

Also, any idea which relay is bad by my description? That write up says there are three.

Relay 3 is the one you want to replace. I am not sure if they interchange. They have very non rear wiper, regular non rear wiper, and very. In S4 and S5

Wiper switches are grouped via series, so there are different part numbers for each...

I know for sure the headlight switches are NOT swappable, although the plugs do interchange.
Mazda had the bright idea to redo the fricken' pins; the change is in the sub-harness that plugs into the headlight switch itself.
Stupid.

This might be the case with the wiper switches...?
Try and find out and report back to us?
