hi all working on my buddies 96 e250, had to do the alternator, tension pully, radiator, tranny cooling lines and some other odds and ends. but the last problem i have is the wipers, they are on at all times (with the truck running) pretty sure its the wiper motor relay (stuck closed). but where is the darn thing? i will go to a JY to pull one out of any E or F series (86-97) because the cheapest new one i can find is over 100 bucks! any help appreciated

sorry, not 86-97 e and f series. but here is a list will all the same relays according to rockauto parts

FORD BRONCO (1992 - 1996)
FORD E-150 (1994 - 2004)
FORD E-250 (1994 - 2004)
FORD E-350 (1994 - 2004)
FORD E-450 (2000 - 2002)
FORD E-550 2002
FORD ECONOLINE SUPER DUTY (1996 - 1999)
FORD F SUPER DUTY (1994 - 1997)
FORD F-150 (1994 - 1997)
FORD F-250 (1994 - 1997)
FORD F-350 (1994 - 1997)
FORD MUSTANG (1994 - 1998)

 

Its not a 'relay.' its a wiper control module. The FSM says the control module is under the lower right trim panel.

Here are the FSM diagnostic procedures:


PINPOINT TEST F: WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN SWITCH IS TURNED OFF

F1 CHECK CONNECTIONS
Check that windshield wiper motor and wiper control module connectors are fully seated.
Are connections OK?
Yes No
GO to F2 . SERVICE as required. RECHECK system.

F2 CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY THROUGH WIPER CONTROL MODULE
Disconnect windshield wiper motor.
With wiper switch at OFF, check continuity of Circuit 28 (BK/PK) to 56 (DB/O) and Circuit 61 (Y/R) to 57 (BK) at motor connector.
Is there continuity?
Yes No
REPLACE windshield wiper motor. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system. GO to F3 .

F3 CHECK CIRCUITS TO WIPER CONTROL MODULE
Check continuity of Circuits 28 (BK/PK), 56(DB/O), 61 (Y/R) and 57 (BK) from windshield wiper motor to wiper control module.
Is continuity OK?
Yes No
GO to F4 . SERVICE circuits as required. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system.

F4 CHECK CIRCUITS TO WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH
With wiper switch at OFF, measure resistance between Circuits 589 (O) and 993 (BR/W) at wiper module.
Is resistance between 45k ohms and 50k ohms?
Yes No
REPLACE wiper control module. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system. GO to F5 .

F5 CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY
Check continuity of Circuits 589 (O) and 993 (BR/W) between wiper switch and wiper control module.
Is continuity OK?
Yes No
REPLACE multi-function switch. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system. SERVICE open circuits. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system.
