Default My windshield wipers hate me.

I have a question about my 99 rangers wipers they randomly turn on while I'm driving sometimes just for a second but also sometimes for a while. I think the wireing is all messed up but if you have any suggestions let me know.

Wiper Relay man. Parts houses don't carry them. You have to go to the dealer.

There was a writeup on here a while back about taking the wiper switch apart and cleaning it with electrical spray...worked for him...I'll see if i can find it.

So I'm not the only one? Sweet. Hopefully that thread is found, or else I'm going to the dealer.

Try the relay first - easy to replace - I had the same thing happen and it was the relay.

If you can't find one at a parts store, just pull a few from virtually any Ford that you find at the JY - always good to have a spare or two.

I've the same problem I changed wiper motor wiper switch relays fuses and the GEM did not help Went to ford to have them flash the GEM they said the computers would not talk that I must have a short or bad ground, The ground for the GEM is suppose to be under the relay/fuse box under the hood they say that it corrodes and may cause the problem
