I got tired of the "courtesy" wipes on my truck so I tore into the switch last weekend. Apparantly I fixed it because I've not had a single uncommanded wiper movement in over 300 miles.

I make pictures, added directions, and posted them to:

Let me know what you think.

That's geat! Every single step was covered! But the big question, did you disconnect the battery before starting

 

No, I did not remove the battery cable. With the ignition off and the key removed there is no power to this circuit.

But, if it makes someone feel better, then go ahead, remove the battery cable. Frankly that will take longer than this simple fix.

I was just kinda kidding, cause your procedure looks like something out of an official Ford shop procedure, and they always start with "disconnect battery cable...."

Once again good job and thanks for sharing the info!

 

excellent, very professional maybe it could be added to the forum. like the odometer fix.

Is the problem still fixed?

I have noticed this on ocasion with my truck and will do the proceedure if you feel it did fix the problem.
Thanks for all the great photos.

Yes, it is! But . . . I don't use the truck very often. I bet I'll put less than 4,000 miles a year on it. After about 800 miles the problem is still fixed.
