97 E-250 wiper problem
Hello, I have a 1997 E- 250 work van V8 triton,the other day it started to rain and the wipers were working fine then all of a sudden they quit working.
When I turn the wipers on at any speed I can hear the motor going but no movement from the wiper blades,the window washer fluid pump still is working fine.
Where is the fuse and relay located for the wiper motor? also where is the wiper motor located? (first ford)
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

The motor is on the drivers side under the plastic cowl/ grill deal that covers it...You need to remove the wiper arms and then one or both plastic cowl / grill covers , then you can see the motor...there is a clip on the end that attaches the linkage, it could be off ...other than that it is what Jim stated above....

You might want to try cycling the motor to another position where there might be more room. This can usually achieved by turning the motor on and shutting it off with the key switch.
