Ford Explorer Electrical Problems

First thought for the brake lights/cruise control would be a bad ground at a taillight (after making sure the PO hasn't made a mess of any trailer wiring). Have an assistant step on the brake and see if any one brake light is brighter than the other....This is going to be the same problem that affects the cruise control... Feedback through the system will make the CC think the brakes are applied whenever the lights are turned on....

For the power windows, first check the position of the window lock switch.... If that isn't it, suspect a broken wire in the rubber bellows between drivers door and A pillar....

Rear wiper may be electrical problem but the wiper motor shaft often siezes where it comes through the liftgate....

After checking for bad wires (as suggested) I'd check the output voltage of the alternator. I've had funny things like that happen when the voltage was too high.

Thank you very much. I will definetely try out these suggestions! Thank you!

Thanks so much! You seem to be right on! You're a huge help!
