How do i remove the ford wiper control module on a 1997 Thunderbird

Since most are unrelated. Check the fuse for the wipers, replace the motor. Replace the regulator for the window, Check the fuse for the horn, most likely it is the steering wheel button bad, if you have lights for the radio and A/C, pull the IP and check wiring and plugs for corrosion. Replace the door latch and the light and chime will stop.

if i remember right this system is all enclosed as one unit the wiper motor assembly has gone bad

They are plug and play units...passenger side of interior...usually behind a kick plate or bolted to the general area around the heater box

Here is the ICM,on you particular vehicle you should be waste spark,which is called a coil pack where all the spark plug wire come out at.This ICM sit right on the distributor

in this model year the module that controls the body features wipers, p/l p/w lights etc is named generic electronic module and its Attached to the underside of the I/P fuse panel i hope that this picture help you find the module

You can't check these modules unless you have the specs on them.good luck on finding them, but if you do let me know please. I've had the same problems on fords. they hide these modules on the passenger side right side of the glove box, just under the dash. usually the only box there

This is your wiper control module that is causling the issue. This is located on the motor and only two screws are holding it in place. Remove the screws, pull the module off and replace the module. It should take ten minutes once you have the new module. Hope this helps.

This sounds as if the (pcm) Powertrain control module has a ground circuit. It will need to be replaced.

You have a multifunction switch (wiper switch).
Which could give you this problem.

You also have a Relay in the engine compartment relay number 24 & 25
Look to see if the relay melted the plastic

You also Have a Generic Electronic Module (GEM) Control wiper function. Very rare this unit fail.

Let me know

1997 Ford Thunderbird Transmission problem
When driving normally transmission surges like it is not in gear. Had sensors replaced, nitural safety switch, and still acts up.
