relay was swaped out for another, (still nothing), changed wiper motor (nothing) this bring me back to posible eletrical problem. Did i miss a fuse somewhere?

A broken wiper motor transmission is very common. It has plastic pieces that will break and is located under the black plastic cowel at the bottom of the windshield. You will need to order it from the Ford dealer.
Look for the fuse for the rearwiper motor is a 15 amp mini-fuse , in location # 8 of
your POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX in the engine compartment.
Check in the PD BOX for;
- relay # 8 is the rearwiper down relay , and
- relay # 10 is the rearwiper up relay .
check for water intrusion on left side of dash. just above the fuse panel (or on backside) if this is so..the GEM module may have been damaged...for short term to drive the truck...turn the key to the on position without starting truck...shift into neutral, then start the engine....you can now drive the vehicle until fixed...hope this helps!

Shows two wiper fuses, one for the front the other for the rear. Both are in the underhood fuse box. Under the hood, the fuse box cover may have a legend on it, shows which fuse does what and the location. Your owners manual should have this info. Didn't see separate washer fuses.
Check to be sure there is washer fluid in the washer fluid reservoir. The owners manual should have a "map" that tells you location, amperage , and system(s) covered by listed fuses. Lacking an owners manual, the inside of the fuse box access panel will also have this information. Suggest you get a Chiltons/Haynes repair manual that covers your vehicle. There are other reasons for washer not to work. And newer vehicles have 2 fuse panels. With redundant systems.

To troubleshoot car windshield wiper problems, you need to thoroughly investigate problems with any of its operating parts. Here are some of the things that you need to check to determine why are your car windshield wipers not working.
Check Wiper Motor The wiper motor is the driving force of the windshield wiper. Feel the motor and listen to a humming sound. If there is no humming, the motor is the problem. Check if the motor is working properly and see to it that its electrical connections are made properly. If you find that the motor is dead and beyond repair, get it replaced immediately.
Check For Break in Connecting Wires The connecting wires of the motor sometimes go loose and that may cause the windshield wipers to stop working. Also check the battery plug connection which the motor has. Connecting the loose wires properly or fixing/replacing the plug might solve your problem.
Check Wiper Switch Another wiper assembly part that can malfunction is the wiper switch itself. Check for switch malfunction and if you find that is indeed the problem, get it replaced from a mechanic.
Check for Bent Wiper Arms Bent wiper arms can cause the operation of the wipers to be hampered. If the wiper arms are bent beyond repair, get them replaced immediately.
Check For Blown Out Car Fuse A blown up car fuse could be the culprit that has stopped the windshield wipers from working. Check the fuse assembly under the dashboard of the car. Replacing a blown fuse might fix the problem of windshield wipers not working.
Windshield Wiper Sprayers Not Working - Things to Check
Sometimes the windshield wiper sprayer stops working which can be very annoying. The washer mechanism is a self cleaning mechanism for the windshield. Here are some of the things that you need to check in case it is not working.
Check Windshield Washer Motor The windshield washer mechanism might have been impaired due to the malfunctioning of the wiper washer motor. Check if its working and get it replaced if it is beyond repair.
Check Windshield Washer Fluid Level Sometimes the washer doesn't work because the washer fluid levels are not filled to requisite levels. Filling in fluid might restore normal functioning.
Check For Broken Washer Hose The connecting washer hose that connects the reservoir to the nozzle, might be broken or worn out stalling the overall operation. Check the hose for leaks and get it replaced.
Check Washer Nozzle For Clogging Last thing to check is the nozzle of the washer for clogging. An obstruction in the washer nozzle might be the reason for windshield wiper sprayers not working. Using a pin, clean the clogged nozzle. This might restore the sprayer to the normal working condition.
Just the washer fluid pump is not working? It will have a separate pump for the front and back washers. If it is not a fuse problem then it may be a dead pump. You can check the connection by putting a voltage tester on the pump plug and activating the switch, see if you get power there. If you do, then remove and test the pump. If that is faulty .. replace.
