I have a 92 Bronco 5.8L. I think I have a problem with my electrical=20 system that is showing up in several areas. Initially I was having=20 problems with the windshield wipers sounding like they were labouring=20 when operating - like not enough power getting to the motor. Then the=20 right side power door lock would lock but when I tried to unlock it the=20 lock motor sounded stressed - like not enough power getting to the=20 motor. Now it doesn't work. The right side window used to work and=20 then the switch on the right would only wind it up. Now the left side=20 switch can't control it. The wipers have recently quit although I can=20 hear a clicking sound under the dash area when I switch them on - almost=20 like they aren't getting enough power to move the wipers. The washer=20 fluid pump won't work either.
The ammeter is showing slightly left of centre when the engine is warmed=20 up. Other Fords I have driven usually indicate well right of centre. =20 The alternator is less than a year old. Also, the engine tach increases=20 when I select the wipers on. =20
I'm going to check the wiper motor today but my instincts tell me that=20 this won't be the problem. I'm also going to clean the alternator,=20 ground, and battery connectors as well as check the voltage ouput of the=20 battery with the engine running.
Anybody have any other advice?
