Thanks! Where did you get your replacement motor? I've read a lot of complaining about bad remanufactured wiper motors and I want to make sure I get a good one.

 

I got my replacement motor from O'Reilly's auto parts. They were able to overnight a part to me and have had no problems with it. It took about an hour to install.

 

Cool. Was there anything tricky about replacing the motor?

 

Yeah, it would be a good idea to get a battery post remover to take the wiper arms off the studs. Here is the link to the one I got that works out well.
Before you pull the wiper arms, note their position on the windshield with painters tape. You will want to make sure you put them back in the same spot.

Once you replace the motor, be sure to put the arm bracket back on straight. You should get a good idea of what it looks like by looking at how it is positioned with the old motor. Take a picture if you need to. If the bracket doesn't form a straight line, it could lead to some really weird wiper movement when the motor is active. You will need to remove the bracket to pull the motor off and replace it. There will be some prying to be done, but that is easily completed with a flathead screwdriver and some colorful language. May also help to get a chilton Manual.

 

Hey Thanks! I'll look at that puller on Amazon, get the motor on order from O'Reilly's and also try to find a You Tube video for the procedure.

Take care,
Bob

 

My friend, I have the same issue that you might be able to help, replaced pump and multifunction switch, still same issue. looked under the plastic for wiper motor and it was full of water, maybe replacing wiper motor cause shorted out?

 

 

did you ever get a fix for this? The exact same thing happened to me. I replaced my wiper motor and it worked for a little bit then right back to exactly this.

 

I need the MF switch but no one sems to have it and Ford has quit making them , where did you get yours
