Wipers just stopped working. Hear clicking noise when turning switch on and pressing fluid. Checked all fuses and connectors. Mfs switch bought with new wiper motor. No luck. Took motor back bought another..... Some are defective. Again no luck. Any suggestions on what could be my problem did i over look anything. I cant afford to take it to the dealer. Especially since i have all the tools i need here. Should i just purchase a brand new ford motor instead of buying the autozone and advance remanufatured ones... Please help

With what you have done, if it ain't working, you need to figure why it isn't getting power from the fuse to the motor. Get a wiring schematic diagram to see what is inline from the fuse to the motor. Sounds like a bad swith in the steering column. Lots of luck tracing down the problem.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos
