1997 expedition.

Problems:

speedo and tach don't work (I have 2 clusters, same problem on both)
wipers don't work.

Replaced:
GEM with known good module.

I'm working on the wipers first

Tested the power at the wiper motor. No power.

1.5 ohms of resistance on the ground.

I have checked all fuses (both under the hood and under the dash).
I have moved all of the relays as well, to no avail.

I have not touched the wiper stalk. Is their a way to test this without replacing it?

Any other thoughts, or ideas?

Good morning Jim and Minnesota.

Started to clean up the garage walls this weekend. Lots of crap going in the garbage.
I also got my clock cleaned over the weekend. Both of them.

Morning guys.

ordered a wiper stalk for the expedition last night. The more I drive it, the more I feel like it's the issue. Left blinker works sometimes, no wipers.

Speedo still doesn't work, but the tach does now...

Good morning Dustin! I am trying to remember did you buy this Expedition as a daily driver or just a good deal? Hopefully the parts fix it.

yup. drove it today. Exhaust is still as annoying as I remember. Fix wipers, fix speedo (then the exhaust. Maybe we need another g2g?).

Going to drive it for a bit. Insurance is only $30/mo for liability. LOL
