My windshield wipers & headlights recently stopped working & I've noticed that if I tap on the fuse/relay box with the black cover located next to the alternator, that the lights will turn on but they won't turn off (even when car is off & keys are out) unless I tap on the box again. Please help !
Relay for the lights are broken, you should get a new relay for the headlights,
It sounds like you have some loose wires, or bad ground since you found the place that when tapped does something, first thing disconnect your battery, neg first, the pos, there should be a couple of bolts holding down the fuse box, take them out, now if you can turn it over, or try to locate the wires hooked up to the one fuse you were tapping, checking those wires to make sure they are good, not rusted, broken, bare , and tight, fix if not if not, then check the bus bar on the fuse box, this is were the pos cable from the battery goes, sometimes these come loose, break, and can cause all kinds of things also check your ground wires, to make sure they have a good ground
the relay is in the center of the dash. i am looking for it now on mine. but that is were the service manual says it is. don;t know if u have to remove the dash to get to it or not.
SOURCE: No dashboard lights or windshield wipers.
I had the same problemon my 87 model z. If you are looking at the front of the car THe battery Should be one the left. Just below the battery there is a little black box with some diferent colored wires in it. The one closest the the front of the car(SHOULD BE GREEN) is called a fusible link. You cant tell if its melted by the naked eye most likely, but if you pull on that wire i guarantee that its burnt. Touch the two burnt ends back together and vialah, everything cuts back on. Make sure your battery wasnt installed backwards. That was the reason mine blew.

Water can enter and displace the grease in the wiper arm linkage ball joint where the wiper linkage attaches to the wiper motor linkage.
This can result in gradual wear over a period of time inside the joint that could lead to the separation of the wiper linkage assembly from the wiper motor linkage at the ball joint. A loss of windshield wiper function can result when this separation occurs.
To prevent grease from being washed out of the joint, the dealers will modify by adding a water diversion seal that will prevent water from entering the windshield wiper linkage ball joint area.
SOURCE: both Windshield wipers quit working at the same time
Its easy. 6 bolts hold that trim on remove them and gently remove the trim

you hear any kind of noise when you starter the wiper function. If yes then
fuse is ok, but issue is wiper motor.
