Neither - the wagons have a fixed intermittent rear wiper selection - this box does that function. (EDIT: referring to the wiper ECU.)

The E series wagons run similar, 91DA-17C499-AA. Cases are different (mounting), plugs are same, circuit boards I'd say are same as the later AU ones.

The E series wagons have them behind the inside RH rear qtr panel, mounted on the wheel well sheetmetal, so I'd guess AU's would be same.

Got in a bit late.

Re the valve cover thingy - NFI.

Thanks for the extra detail on the window relay.
We've now moved onto guessing @aussieblue mystery part from the American Ford forum

[snap0964]

Yep, I'll give that one a miss. . .

And of course although that part was found on a 2014 Ford Focus Valve cover it may not necessarily be from that vehicle originally. It may have been flicked up from the road, fallen out of a ceiling or overhead light fitting, come from a mechanics tool or pocket or even left there by some rodent (squirrels frequently store nuts and nut like items there in North America e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRA0NRApf2U )

Sometimes the squirrels get carried away:

Or was it the chipmunks

And in the Uk https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens...nuts-1.2994418

In any event, if you go through all the youtube videos for changing coils and or plugs on a Ford Focus several show squirrels have stored nuts in the valley between the coils. I guess it's nice and warm and dry there.

They also do pine cones: https://www.driving.co.uk/news/squir...ar-engine-bay/

Its identity is being debated on the US Ford Forum see https://www.fordforums.com/f166/foun...-cover-307190/ . It was found on the valve cover of a 2014 Titanium Focus.

Having another look at that I seem to remember similar fittings on vacuum lines on my old Jag.

Yes it looks a bit like an old vacuum check valve.
