Superchips Problem/Windshield Wipers

I am asking this for a friend. He has a 06 F-250 PSD and put a Superchips 1705 micro tuner on it. Since he did this his windshield wipers do not work. He put his truck back to stock and the wipers work. He took it to the Ford dealer and they couldn't find any problems. As soon as he put the programmer back on the windshield wipers quit working again. He has called Superchips and they don't have an answer. Has anyone here had any similar experiences, or any solutions? Thanks in advance.

An '06 with tuner already? How many miles does he have on it?

I believe he has around 2000 miles on it, and he pulls a 15K pound 5th wheel race trailer with it, so the tuner is for performance/fuel economy purposes, not just to have a hot rod or anything

I have a 1704-a on my 2004 F-250 with 11K miles and it's mostly for play, whereas his actually gets used to pull a lot. The most I've pulled with mine is a 12,500 lb Cat mini excavator when I was building a seawall in my back yard. Other than that a couple of 4 wheelers or jet skis is about all of the towing mine sees.
