Make sure relays, and the wiper switch are workin properly.


Then proceed to replace the motor

Check to see if your lights are working correctly, mine would not shut off only when the car was truned off. I went through this 3 times! Hang in there and PM if you have any questions.

For your sake I hope so!!

My last issue with wipers even took out the A/C unit! Total fix was over $1800.

A new wiper motor fixed mine.

We replaced the wiper motor on my brother's Marauder. Cost was around $75.00 and we had to return the broken wiper motor to the dealer or they would charge us a "core" charge. I guess that they rebuild them.

Oh, $75 was the cost of the part only. We changed it ourselves.

All you need to do is remove the wiper arms and plastic cowl peices. The new wiper motor just plugs right in. No cutting of any wires.

When mine was done, the dealer replaced the wiper motor and installed an updated wiper motor wiring harness thingie. Has been good ever since.

Mine had this same problem . I had the wiper motor replaced .
Seems fine for now ...

I just had mine replaced a little more than a month ago. It cost me about $290 to have it done (would have done it myself but I really didn't want to monkey around with trying to get the wiper arms off). Be careful when doing it, though. Apparently there is a chance of striking the bottom of the windshield with a tool and cracking it. That's what happened with mine. Bottom edge got chipped, and it cracked almost all the way up the right-hand side within a day. Fortunately I wasn't charged for the replacement windshield or the labor to install it.

i ment to update this. new motor seemed to have fixed it. as shora said took me and a friend about 2 hours to do. now after doing it i can prolly do it in half an hour

ford has a service bulletin on this. And a revised wiper motor

[tmic]

Just had it done at the dealer. They said new motor and pigtail. $300. :( They told me the updated motor will not fit the original pigtail.
