Question 94 B4000 Wiper problems

Well I have the Tranny fixed and the MAF changed. Now the wipers will not work on low intermittent or park. Anyone have any ideas?
I think it is the Control Module butam not sure. If it is is there a way to wire around it for low and park? Living in WA with out wipers is not a option.

The problem is the "return to rest" contacts in the motor assembly. Try cleaning and/or adjusting these contacts.

Ok, the next thing to check is to see if there is 12V going to the "return to rest" contacts. There should be 12V there as long as the ignition switch is on, irregardless of the wiper switch position.

I have the problem figured out. With my trusty manual and electrical drawings I went digging today. Found the control module after taking dash apart. I took out the module and tested the wiring. It parks and low speed works just fine if I jumper the right wires. Took out the drawings and got to looking at the module. I could not resist had to take it apart. I guess the electical schooling and working with eletronics does pay off some times. Well I looked at the cheap A$$ board they made for the intermitant setup . It is just a RC curcuit not even high tech nothing to burn out. the only thing that can cause the problem is the relay on te board. I called Ford to get a price to a replacement $102 + tax. The components in this board cost about $1 wholesale. How is that for mark up.
