1999 F150 Two Problems

Just by chance, does it happen when you use your turn signal? Mine does that once in a while.

The intermittent wiper issue was repaired under a recall on my 1999 Expedition.

So it was on my '99 F350, but not on my '95 Bronco

it may have happened with the use of the signal..but it is not necessary. I can be driving straight down a street and then the wipers will make one sweep. Never more than one sweep though.

Thanks, Ill check to see if there ate any recalls on it.

The 'Phantom Wiper' is a defective multifunction switch. There was a recall out for it and it is a common problem for it to go bad. Except here in Louisiana where nobody touches the turn signal lever. :-) The gages going to full on startup is most likely a bad battery (or alternator not charging). If the voltage drops below a certain level, the computer will reset and on turn on will sweep the gages.

I have the same problem with my 99 150 also. The wiper thing amazes me. Of course the question is, will the dealer's cover it under the recall? After all, it has been 4 years.........
