Some of the 99's were known to have windshield leaks. Not big ones, but a small amount of water that would drip on the back of your fuse panel where you can't see it. I'd take the fuse panel under the dash out (4 screws), and look at the back side for any signs of moisture there.

My wife's 2000 expedition had a similar problem after having the windshield replaced and that is what it was, it wasn't sealed properly and the fuse panel would get wet.

Just thinking out loud, did you pull the steering column plastic panels and look in there for a short or something like that? Windshield wiper and the ignition are opposite of one another on the column. Just a SWAG.
