Thank you so much for this video. In my case, logic board on wiper motor was shorting out due to getting wet. As I uncover the problem, the board itself never got wet. It was because of the wiring harness going to the wiper motor was full of water. What caused this, is the harness is pinned to the plastic gutter/wiper housing; water got to the pin then leaked onto wire cluster, then to the port. Replaced motor, cleaned contacts, closed off hole for pin and tucked wire over the brake booster I believe. Fixed! Couldn't have done it without this video as I don't have the dealer service manual or alldata, etc. Thank you so much! You helped out a fellow mechanic from several hours of scratching my head.

I have a 2000 MGM. Worst wiper system ever - especially in winter. Setup is similar, but 2000 model year have wipers that sit down below the hood line on a piece of plastic instead of on the glass windshield. This causes all sorts of problems with wiper distortion and premature blade failure. I get about 3 months from wiper blades no matter what brand. Good to see Ford remedied this problem on later models. Last of the body on frames. A little piece of America died when these cars were discontinued. Hit an interstate highway with a Panther and you will see what I mean. TY for the video.

Odd thought that they kept this design from the early 90s that long, I did this on my '93 Crown Victoria and it was just about identical, the connector was different because of the fact theres less technology in the older model, but its nice to see that they kept that structural design and didnt just keep changing it over and over again.

I guess I will have to put your words to the test. My 2004 Crown Vic squirter does not work. I just finished watching this and the prior video. If you can do it, I can do it. I also subbed and rang that bell.

My 2003 Grand Marquis wipers won't shut off, operate at one speed and washer fluid spray stopped working. Going to start with the wiper motor replacement, unless you have another suggestion. Thanks Eric!
