Wipers Wont Stop
Has anyone had the problem where their front wipers wont stop. They will operate on high and low. No intermittant. Even when i pulled the 15 amp fuse they kept going. I went back to the book and found a 30 amp fuse. Pulled that and they stop. I have been working too much to look for the solution. My electrical knowledge tells me it is probably a welded contact in a relay. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Kieth 8898
There is a recall on early Excursions for a problem with the intermitant function in the wiper motor, on occasions the wiper motor can catch fire.
The fix is to replace the wiper motor cover with an updated new one, the dealer will do this free of charge.
I suggest maybe a trip to the dealer first to check out whther yours is covered by the recall.

Dereck

Still wouldn't hurt to check with the dealer.

I know I'm digging up an old post here, but didn't want to start a new one for the same problem. I have the same truck as Keith, an 02 Excursion. I'm currently having the same problem too. The wipers want to run constantly, even with the key out and I have no int wipers. Pulling the 15A fuse did nothing. Pulling the 30A relay will get them to stop. I swapped the relay out with another 30A and still have the same problem. So now what?!

Just did some more troubleshooting. With the switch on the column unplugged, the wipers still work on their own. I'm guessing this means it's the motor???

Bump...
I still haven't gotten anywhere with this thing. I know it's not a super common problem, but I've read a couple of posts here and there with other people having this issue. No one ever says what the resolution was though.
