Wipers are stuck on

CONVGTMUSTANG · 02-29-2004, 03:18 PM

I have a 92 Mustang GT and the windshield wipers are stuck on. I tried replacing the signal/wiper switch, but that didn't solve the problem. I got a motor on the way from an Ebay auction, but I don't think this will solve the problem either. I think there might be a short somewhere.

Anyone have any other ideas what it might be? Is this a common problem with Mustangs??

I've seen it before that the motor will short internally and keep going until it burns out. I'd put the new motor on, i think that'll solve your problem.

Thanks for the info.... Hopefully that will solve the problem, since it isn't the switch. If not, there might be a short somewhere I guess. I HATE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!

NEW PROBLEM:
My powered mirrors and emergency flashers aren't working either. I thought it might be a fuse, but all of the ones that are in the box, are ok. There are two open slots left. Maybe that could be the problem. Does anyone have picture/diagram of the fuse box indicating what fuse goes where and what its for?

Well I tried replacing the signal/wiper switch and the motor, but that did not work. Anyone have any other ideas what might be causing this?
