Windshield wiper problem

I am having a problem with my 91 F.250 with 5.8 5spd,4x4 reg cab, my wipers dont work in any speed and the washer doesnt work either, now if you turn the wipers on, the motor makes a groaning noise, ive tried 2 motors, they both do the same, i hear a clicking behind the fuse block.

I had a similar problem. Is your wiper switch combined with your turn signal switch? I replaced the turn signal/wiper switch and it fixed my problem. I got the part at NAPA...I might still have the box if you need a part number.

Is it just me, or is the combination wiper/signal switch crap? I've got all kinds of problems with mine.

if you have intermittent wipers on the turn signal stalk, and easy thing to do is to pull the cap off of the end(i used my teeth) which will reveal a screw. remove screw and slide out internals. clean with electrical parts cleaner... when pulling out the parts make sure the little metal cylinders dont fall out of the bottom(you will see what i mean)

after this you will have to replace stuff(relays, etc)

this is free and easy to do so id start here.

I tried cleaning the switch, but I didn't get much more life out of it. Still worth a try though, yours may work better than mine!
