The wipers are controlled through a central electronic module called the GEM, it can be self tested with a Ford scan tool to see what the problem is with the wipers.

If your car is under 36000 miles take it to your dealer and have it fixed under your warrenty. All of your interior electrical systems are controled by computors and sometime not a simple repair ! The dealer has the tools to monitor different switch states to aid in isolating the problem. Just guessing if its a switch or a computor or a wiring issue can get very costly.

SOURCE: windshield wipers don't work.Fuse is good.

Hello Firerocker.
If your washer motor works there is power in the circuit and ground.
The wiper motor housing needs to be grounded.
If neither one works check for power on the green wire leading into the motor. If nothing there your switch may be bad.
If there is power to the green wire then check for power on the gray wire on low wiper speed and power on purple on high speed.
Here is a diagram if you need it.

Hope this gets your wipers going again.

Windsheild wipers only work on high

you have to check the relays connecting the windshield and also the fuses. if any one of these dont work replace them. if they are working fine, the problem is with the motor. the coil should have been damaged.
