Which one is the washer on the power distribution box 98 ford f150

Just bought this truck from Auction and the windshield wipers do not work. The water doesn't come out and no noise when you turn the handle. I did replace the 11 fuse in the interior panel even though it was not blown. I was told that is could be a switch "relay" located under the hood. I checked the distribution box but they all are numbered. The big switches are 4-6. They are not marked with words and only numbers. I can't find out which one I need to check for the wiper relay. Also, the interior light dome light does not work and their is no chime when the door is opened. The instrument panel works just fine. This truck does not have power windows, doors.

    I know new motors are around 50 and a new switch is 90. Before replacing the motor, how can I tell that the motor is really the problem? Also, how would I change out the motor? I heard it doesn't take that long.

Which Fuse is the windshield washer fuse on a 2016 Ford F150?

Spencer - the washer fluid pump is fed off the same fuse as the windshield wiper, i.e., #22 which is a 30 amp fuse. If the wipers work, the fuse is fine...could be another issue

What is the problem you are facing? Are you not getting any fluid spray from the nozzle? Could be a clogged hose, broken washer fluid pump or switch...

I recommend taking these steps, as I saw from another F150 site:
Open hood
** Locate washer fluid bottle
** Find the rubber hose near the bottom coming off of it
** Follow hose up to near firewall and find a connector
** Take hose off connector and point away from yourself
** Have someone power on the truck
** Press spray button
** If fluid then pump is working problem is after the connector near the sprayers
** If no Fluid then either the Pump is bad or the switch is bad.

How do i fix nonstop windshield wipers on a 98 ford mustang?

In the instrument panel fuse box , fuse # 2 30 amp. is power for the wiper control module . Pulling that fuse will or should turn them off . Your wiper / washers are controlled by a electronic control module , if i were to guess ,i would say that was bad. But that is just a guess , without testing don't know for sure . Also there is a switch inside the wiper motor that allows parking operations of the wipers .

Windsheild wipers just quit working,and i cant find any fuses for this.where is it?

There is a 30 amp (pink) fuse located in the fuse box located inside the car (see picture below) and it is in the number 11 position in that box. That fuse is for the wiper system there is also a hi/low wiper relay located in the power distribution box located in the engine compartment. It is in the number 1 position (the big number 1 not the diode or fuse). You may want to check that out as well if the fuse is good. The picture for that is also below. I hope this helped and good luck.

98 ford windstar. power windows, windshield wipers,willnot work,.

This sound like some type of relay switch failure in the fuse box, you need check all the fuses and see if they're all intact and make sure none of them are burned out. If all these are not working you have a live wire some where in you wire harness
