I have a 1992 Mercury Tracer wagon, 1.9L (same car as the '92 Ford Escort wagon). A few days ago, I started the car and the rear wiper would not turn off.
Except for one time when I drove over a bump in the road, the wiper will not turn off when the ignition is engaged.
In addition, for the past few weeks, my headlights have occasionally turned themselves off. I turn them back on by flashing my brights.
The steering column has one post that controls the front and rear wipers, with intermittent settings. Another post controls the headlights.
Apparently, these are part of a combination switch. Will I have to replace the switch? Or is there a less expensive way to fix these problems?
