SOURCE: 2oo2 ford F-150 can't get out of park,wipers and elec. windows won't work

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!

SOURCE: I need to change the wiper blades and don't know

If you purchase the blades at an auto parts store like Auto Zone or Pep Boys they will usually install them for you for free.

SOURCE: 2005 ford 150 4.6 v8 wipers stopped working but washer still works. could it be a fuse or wiper motor ? or what?

Check owners manual and see if a fuse control only the wipers but don't think it is a fuse. Disconnect motor and check for voltage at wiring harness. If voltage is present replace motor.

The wipers will not work in the daylight....when he starts the truck in the daylight the wipers will not come on.....at night when he is leaving work the wipers will work.....checked the fuses and replaced...

So what youre saying is the wipers work when the headlights are on
but the wipers dont work when the headlights are off?

I would suspect the turn signal switch is bad. I believe the switch on your S-10 controls
the wipers as well as switching from high beams to low beams. Since that switch is related
to the control of both headlights and wipers.

Could also be the headlight switch. The wiring harness from the turn signal switch plugs
into the headlights switch. I would replace the headlight switch first since you can get one
for around $25. Turn signal switch costs $150-$200. Maybe a little more or less for your vehicle.

1998 F-150 4x4, wipers stopped in mid sweep and remained there. I can hear the motor cycling but the arms don't move. It's probably a nuts off the wiper motor but how do I get to it?

Open the hood. The motor and linkages are mounted on the bulkhead just below the windscreen. As you mentioned its probably the linkage.

1998 ford expedition eddie bauer edition winshield wiper sometimes works and sometimes it doesnt... i would like to know where the location of the windshield motor

if you take off the wiper themself and then remove the trim under them the wiper motor is on the driver side you may have to replace the motor and if there is a go yard around you there you can get one at half the cost you can also take one off a F-150 the same kind of truck one has a bed the other one has seats also try junkyarddog.com to help you find one.
