When going to leave the other day i tried using the windshield wipers but they were stuck the the windshield. When i cleared them off to try them again they worked but wouldn't shut off. No adjustability what so ever, just 1 speed. Pulled the fuse (didn't know what else to check) it was fine. So now i'm driving around without wipers(fuse is still out). I've done a search found nothing what would cause this? any ideas? TIA ...-TIM

 

Wiper switch may have gone out, but this is a pretty rare problem on the FD. Put the fuse back in and try it - it may clear itself up.

Time to dig through the shop manual and look at the circuit. I doubt it's the wiper motor - the motor has to have the signal from the wiper switch to function, and if it's running, it's getting the "on" signal from the switch. I imagine a used one would be pretty easy to find and reasonably priced.

See FSM pp. Z-48, Z-49

Check the intermittent wiper relay. I'd pull it and see if the wipers stop.

Other than that, check the "one touch" switch, and wiper switch. It's a pretty simple circuit. There's not much that could cause it.
