Wipers will not shut off
Kind of a pain, yesterday the wipers came on by themselves and will not shut off unless I pull the fuse. Is there a relay that could be at fault or is the only suspect the multifunction switch?

I have turn signal and high beam issues as well, but as long as I have the steering column up all the way to relieve pressure on the wiring harness it works fine. Havent had wiper issues before though.

Hearing that makes me think you have something chafing in the wiring harness. I'd start by opening up the column and check to see if any of the wires are shorting out or something else is wrong in there.

The new switch came in this morning and that was the problem. Four phillips #2 screws for the shroud, had the screw off the column tilting lever to remove the bottom shroud half, the top half didn't need to come off, I just manipulated it's position with the hazard light swiitch pushed in to access the two torx screws that hold the switch in place. The assembly could be pulled out a bit to access the plugs and installation was just the reverse. All together a 5 minute job.
I tried the switch cleaning method I have found here:
Ford F150 Wiper Fix Procedures
but I lost the spring and a contact in the fresh snow and at -30 I wasnt about to go digging for it. The new assembly was 101$ taxes included ("Standard" brand)and arrived at my auto part store the next morning.
I now have something I can use again while my POS 2008 Chev minivan get's it's second front main crankshaft seal replaced within 6 months.

The newer trucks are different inside the dash. Perhaps asking this question in this forum would suit you better - Super Duty & Heavy Duty - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
