1996 Explorer electrical issue

Hi Guys. I usually lurk over on the 1953 to 1956 F-100 forum but I have an issue with my Wife's 1996 Explorer. Windshield wipers and power windows have decided to only work when they feel like it. I have owned this vehicle since 1998 and never had any type problem. I have checked all fuses on far left side of instrument panel and the fuse panel on driver side under hood and none are blown. Schematic shows power locks to be on same circuit as power windows and I have no problems with locks. Is there another fuse location on this vehicle? Any ideas where to start? I took it to a local mechanic but of course everything worked normally then but quit again on the way home. Help please!! Steve

do you have a TILT column and use it ?? Constant up- down on the column has cause some wire problems, connectors to come loose.
