i have '96 f-150 eddie bauer that wipers have just stopped working on. i've replaced the fuse under the dash, and replaced the switch on the steering column. the washer fluid won't squirt either which leads me to believe that it's a fuse. its there another one in the black box under the hood? if so, which one as i don't have an owners manual. i have checked the fuses and they all appear to be good. could it possible be a relay?? this is really bugging me. please help!!

 

It could be the Wiper Control Module (located behind the glovebox). It is a solid state device that controls the wipers and washer pump. It is expensive @ $160 dealer retail.

 

Check with FTE PartsGuy rather than trying to buy it retail.

Since you replaced the column switch, I'd also say it's the WCM.

 

thanks! i'll check it out. i just happen to have a donor truck sitting here to save me a little $$$

 

hurray!!!!! that was the problem! i took the one out of donor truck and now i can drive when it rains. thanks so much for the tip. it was the little black box located behind the glovebox. located a little bit behind the vent. i just took the glovebox and tadaa! easy to change out. hope other guys with same issues read this. thanks again!
