Unhappy w140 burning relay boxes

Hi!
I recently bought a w140 s350 for a good price but the turn signal and wiper didnt work on it (therefore the price) and i thought it could be an easy fix. But on my way home with it the lights start flashing with wierd patterns. I did a reserch and found out that the relay box could have been burned. It was pretty hard to find a new one with the same part no. (140 820 30 26) but was able to find one on ebay. So I installed the new one and everything worked for a while but now it have started to act the same way as the old one! Not as much as it yet but its getting worse and worse, starts to blink for a second even if the engine is of and the wiper doesnt always work!
any idea what could be the reason?

Best regards,
Fürsten
