#113 of 128 “intermittent” wiper problem by patrock61 Oct 02, 2009 (12:24 pm)
I have 1999 Ford Crown Vic. Never had a problem with wipers before this morning. Today, the “intermittent” function stopped working, only works on “full speed” and when I shut it off it does not park, stops wherever it happens to be. When I turn it on (not full speed) there is an audible “click” that comes from the lower center dash. This also happens to be where the windshield wiper control module is located. I was wondering if that “click” points to the control module and not the signal/wiper/washer switch on the steering column as the problem?

#116 of 128 Turn Signals on 1997 Grand Marquis by joeohara2 Oct 10, 2009 (4:59 pm)
I have no turn signals on either side but my hazard flashers work fine. I've replaced every bulb front and rear and checked every fuse. Prior to the loss of my turn signals, I heard an audible clicking noise under the dash intermittently for a number of months. I ignored it. I also had a blown bulb on one side so the clicking noise was faster on the left side than the right side. Now I have neither side. From what I've learned either the Lighting Control Module or Multi-function switch is bad. Any help or advice you can provide would be most helpful. Cheers, Joe

Replying to: patrock61 (Oct 02, 2009 1:12 pm) Update , I changed the motor it was 63 dollars ..Quite the project to change it you have to remove wiper arms . Update , I changed the motor it was 63 dollars ..Quite the project to change it you have to remove wiper arms . Take off both sides of the leaf screen you will need a Phillips screw driver and something to take out the 2 push fasteners on either side . remove inside motor cover remove retainer clip from motor arm remove three bolts securing motor . Remove the 5 or 6 bolts that hold the motor mounting /wiper arm plate lift motor mounting plate unplug motor and remove to install follow this procedure in reverse except motor can be bolted in before mounting plate is rescued . Total time should take you about 2 to 3 hours with 3 busted knuckles.   Problem is solved all wiper function work perfectly now thanks for the advice                                                         Patrick

#119 of 128 grand marquis headlights by sandyihall Oct 14, 2009 (12:44 pm)
My 2004 Grand marquis headlights go out and I can not get them back on I tried all lighting controls but nothing. The bright beams won't stay on either. How can I fix this without a new module?

Replying to: scaldog1 (Oct 12, 2009 5:36 pm) Your vehicle is maybe six years old now. Have you checked your alternator? They can check it at Auto Zone with their machine. Or you can take it out and bring it up there and they can run it through the tester, which is the best way to tell if it is failing under full load.

Replying to: scaldog1 (Oct 12, 2009 5:36 pm) We had a similar problem. The Crown Vic would always start and run fine but every 7 days or so the battery would run down. Turned out to be the starter solenoid on the fender well. It was very slowly draining the battery down but still worked okay. When it was replaced the problem went away.
