Great Video!
I just (1 month ago) replace Wiper Control Module in my mom's 2009 Grand Marquis for same/similar reasons. In this case wipers came on by themselves, then to make maters worse. the washer pump came on-line and squirted my square in the face while checking.
First thought was multi-function switch on column, but after many you-tube videos (like yours) chased down the wiper control module.
Thanks for the videos as I learn a lot from you and other youtubers willing to share their time and experience.

There's your problem; it's an over-computerized American car! And for people who fix Tauruses (at least 2001's, if you ever get a code for ECM keep-alive power after having a/c compressor issues, check the a/c fuse in the underhood fuse block. The Ford genuises ran the keep-alive off that fuse! Big Kudos to Mr. O and SMA for sharing so much knowledge that I wish I had a garage to work in, just to take things apart and put them back together again!

Dorman Wiper motor: Fits perfectly, no problems, no soldering required, no angle grinder, nice connector. Then it runs slow as a snail. turns out it runs on 24V. Easy fix is buy and wire a second battery, change half of wiring of the car. or even better. sell the car and buy a RV, Bus or big truck that runs 24V power and install it there. Edit: People will complain anyways.

Best line of the whole video, I'm certainly not going to put an A1 Cardone motor in it since I don't want to have to do that repair 5 or 6 times! Eric O. makes me laugh so hard when he talks about Dorman and A1 Cardone being complete junk. How many steering racks did you have to put in that one time till you finally got a good one? 7 or 8? OEM baby. OEM!

Cardone & Dorman. a mechanics nightmare. I'm in total agreement and won't install either and rather not waste my time or blemish my reputation or name with their junk. I'd rather go gamble in Vegas b/c my chances are better. I will use the Dorman nylon fuel line repair kit & lines but I'm pretty sure somehow they'll screw that up also.

Eric, totally random question, but somewhat related, have you had any experience with widsdshield washer fluid heaters, such as the old ones manufactured by Hotshot, now manufactured under the name AlphaTherm? I'm just curious if they actually help in the winters you experience there.

Ok, Guys i have a set of noid lights that i use to check circuit integrity. You would be surprised those noid lights fit a lot of 2 wire connectors. Am I in the wrong here, it sure saves time vs using a test light and going from power to ground and vise versa.

Years ago I helped my wife's uncle sell a bunch of those Ford wiper motors on Ebay for his business. They went for under 30 each. He got them for 2 or 3 each at auction as they were leftovers that the factory didn't use.

So was the wiper motor the fix? I have an 06 LX Sport Vic and mine came on on their own, washer fluid as well. Also the wipers only work on one setting. I changed the multi function switch and still has same discrepancy.

probably just the solder joints on the board connector fractured, if it was mine I'd take it apart, clean and re-solder: )
downside, not all can have just the circuit board removed easily.
