So, my wipers will stay on with the wiper switch in the off position. It's really annoying. I checked and my car does not have a sensor that would make them stay on. Any time I have to turn them on, I know they may not shut off and sometimes will take a bit to turn off. I should have mentioned it when I took it in for the door light issue, but it slipped my mind.
First it was the door ajar light that wouldn't turn off and it cost me $300+ to get it fixed. Now the windshield wipers wont shut off and it's quite annoying... not sure how much this little issue is going to cost me. I think Ford is purposely adding these little annoying issues just to make more money ... and it's working. After looking at all the reviews online regarding these issues, it should be a recall but yet its nothing more than a ripoff.
went to car wash, wipers came on and could not shut off. they just went on intermittently. found out on youtube that it was the wiper switch. going to get one this weekend, 2 days away hope it rains, it seems very common. I'm skipping dealer on this, just a bunch of screws and pop out and pop in
The windshield wipers will not turn off. They stay on delay which is very annoying, especially on sunny days. It is wearing on my windshield wiper blades
I cannot turn on my windshield wipers because they will never turn off. Well, they will after about a week and many many different combinations of techniques to turn them off (turn the wipers on full power and then turn the car immediately off; spritz the windshield with washer fluid, while the wipers are off; dance in the moonlight naked)
For now, when it rains or snows and I need to use the wiper, I just use the "mist" feature and hold it down.
