Just throwin this out there.
My wipers occasionally freeze up when driving. I have to cycle the switch and they start again. I have an 89 and the switch has four functions. Push for wiper fluid spray, and then the three position rotary switch (off, slow, fast).
I did some searching online and it seems it may be the switch itself? Any comments on this diagnosis.
Previously I did buy a motorcraft switch (part# below) from rockauto. I got the dash cover off, old switch out, and then noticed that the switch completely did not fit.
MOTORCRAFT SW1571A
Anyone know which switch I need? Or is there another problem causing my occasional wiper issues. It happens randomly, usually after the wipers have been operating for a few mins.
