wipers
I have replaced wiper motor, control arm and speed modules but still have no wipers when truck, 96 Ranger, gets to operating temp. I've talked to Ford garage, they don't seem to know. Can someone help?

Welcome to FTE!
I believe on earlier 90's Rangers there is a 6 Amp circuit breaker for the wipers somwhere, probably in the fuse panel or in the fuse box under the hood. Did you check for something like that in your '96?
Also, the multifunction switch/stalk has a major role in the wiper curcuit, have you considered it as a possible culprit?

Thanks Rockledge I have changed the switch stalk out, as the old one wasn't connecting. I haven't checked for the 6 amp fuse though, will try that.
Thanks to you also revert00, I have checked connections but not when at operating temps.
I checked a private mechanic, he suggested the GEM, which I priced, I don't want to get that until other posibilities are checked.

Also, a Ford dealer, or a mechanic with the proper scan tool, can retrieve diagnostic troble codes that are specifically related to the GEM. These codes are not accessible with a conventional off-the-shelf scanner. So maybe some further diagnostics can confirm a bad GEM.
