..... windshield wipers on my 1999 Taurus come on, make one or two passes and then stay off. There is no way to control this as they are switched off. .....tonight did this 4 times in the first hour and then no problems for the next two hours.
Thanks for any input. _______________________________________________________
The windshield wiper motor may contain a defective parking switch.
If the parking switch is stuck open, the wipers will stop wherever they are when the multifunction switch is turned off.
If the parking switch is stuck closed, the wipers will operate continuously even if the multifunction switch is off.
If the parking switch is intermittent. the wipers could come on at random and stop at random even if the multifunction switch is off.
OR, the problem may be in the multifunction switch.
Good luck.
