Wipers not working
hey guys... i was asked by my boss at work to look at his wifes expedition because the wipers arent working. I was wondering what i need to look for other than fuses. Are there relays? Do the motors have a habit of going out? and stuff like that any advice is welcome. I do not want to get there and look like an idiot I want to try anything and everything. Im planning on bringing a multimeter and test the connections but i may need diagrams or locations as im not familar with these fords. Thanks for the advice

The multi-function switch has been a source of problems for anything controlled by it. Try playing with that as sometimes they will work intermittently if you mess with it. If that is the problem then the switch will need to be replaced.

just in case this happens, and this is a BIG just, if you go through everything and cant figure out why its still not working, fond out if the radio has been replaced by an aftermarket unit, and if so, see if its on the power supply its supposed to be on. my sister had this problem with her truck and her husband couldnt figure it out for 3 weeks. i came over to help him with it and in 20 min i located the problem. the guy who installed the radio used the power supply wire for the wipers and didnt realize it.
