1995 ranger wipers come on randomly

It may just be the switch. The wiper motor is usually under the cowl at the bottom of the windshield. I'd guess the switch is probably wore out so it wont shut off.

Do you have int wipers? If so check the int module its under the dash right side of the steering column I believe. Specifically check the solder joints.

Hi you should check for siezed wiper pivets.

On the ford ranger wiper motor not working, this is how u fix it. I am a licenced autobody mechanic for mercedes and my son bought a ford ranger and of course the wipers were not working-neither did the dome light and door chime.I told my son too replace all fuses ,switch and motor. And still nothing.Remove radio there is a pcm in behind- ours was unpluged. When we plugged it in the door bell would not shut off and the dome light stayed on. In stead of unplugging the pcm remove the light if wd40 does not work on the door latches. And to stop the door bell ringing remove the plastic cover around the ignition and their is a single wire with a blue connector just remove the wire it is the wire closest to the key and tape up the end and problem solved guarenteed . my email is [email protected] I will walk u through it .

The wiper motor my be bad. Turn on the switch and unplug the wiper motor and check the plug for power, if there is power, most likely the motor is bad.

your problem is the wiper motor its self,the park position in internal,you will need to replace the motor

Why did you buy a switch? Did the original one meter out bad? Never replace any part till you understand how it works and how to test it. Work the wipers and the lighting issues as two separate problems. The wiper motor or relay etc may have failed around the same time as the heater core. Two separate things Unplug the wiper motor and turn the key on. Meter out the connector in different switch modes. Need a schematic of the circuit. Lights-- Problem is after the fuses and they are the start of most circuits. so you know you have an open circuit like a connector under the dash you disturbed unknowingly during the heat core deal or a loose ground wire.

I have the same problem as u . and all the ford socalled mechanics can figure it out. I have basically bought every part new and no results. sell the truck. can we swap out these mechanics .........

No the motor is the problem.

The wiper switch is most likely bad. Check the coolant level for the temp. issue. Low coolant will cause a gauge to shoot up suddenly
