I have a problem and I am trying to figure this out. First, I have a 94 Ford L9000 Mobile Home Toter Truck single axle.
If it matters Vin#RVA23887.
About a week ago I was driving and the intermittent wipers stopped working. So I put them on Low and then they stopped working with seconds also. The high worked and has stayed working up to now. I think if anyone owns these trucks knows that parts are either very expensive to get or they are just obsolete, which really sucks. So, anyway, I got a new Trico Motor that replaced the older Ford F7PU-17504-CA motor. First of all, it was wired correctly for the Trico and did not need the new harness. So turned it on and only got High to work. So found out from dealer that the switch is obsolete. Nice! So I found out that they used the same style switch in older Ford cars and trucks. Went to junkyard and found them. I got two of them just to be safe. I came back and tried both of them, still only High will work. I took the Module off that I guess works the intermittent wiper mode. But I all the wires go into it so maybe it works everything, not sure. But I took it off and still only High will work. I called up dealer to see if I could get a new one. They said they only show 1 of them in the whole country and it is $1300. I had to laugh at that one!
: But I figured if I am getting the same result with it plugged in or not plugged in, it is probably not that module. So, I am at a loss as to what else it could be. Unless I am missing something, I am following the wires from the switch, down to the plug that goes into the module and those wires are tapped into the ones coming from switch, then they go right out the firewall to the motor. So If I tried a putting 2 different switches on, tried it with and without the module plugged in and with a new motor and with all that the exact same result as when I started, what the heck else could it be. Is there a relay or something somewhere that I am missing??? I am at a loss as to where to go from here. HELP!!!
If it matters the Module is 17C476
and E6EB-14A624-AA =
this is just the wire connector only.
1981 thru today truck VIN's are 17 digits. You are missing the first 9, which I need before I can look up any of these parts.
The thing is, there is no L9000 listed in the Ford truck parts catalog w/intermittant wipers, only F & C Series trucks are listed with these parts.
17C476 is only the basic part or ID number for the wiper governor. What is its prefix and suffix?
The wiper governor (module) and the intermittant switch are not the same as all vehicles, there are dozens of different types, so you cannot expect them to work for your application.
