2001 ford expediton dome light, windshield wippers

Hello. It seems your Ford has a faulty master switch in the door panels (for the windows), a faulty door jamb switches (for the dome light), a malfunctioning multifunction switch (for the turn signal/windshield wipers). Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Have the GEM module scanned to verify proper operation.

definately a short somewhere tracing will be tricky but here goes,is there a roof mount aerial above the dome light ? if so take dome light down and check for signs of water ingress ie corrosion on the bare metal parts etc,if no roof aerial move to the fuse box in engine compartment ,take the lid off which will have a list of the fuses/relays look for one's that go with the components acting up check them for corrosion ,will have to remove the fuse/relay to do this ,only take one out at a time so dont get any mixed up,then check the fuses inside car under dash drivers side particulary the window and wiper if nothing found get the OBD codes read and forward me the numbers , this might take you 10 minutes to sort or hours

I would say you sound smarter,than most of the lost soles on here,with vehicle issues.
Have him check out the transmission selector switch,mounted on the side of the trans just above the oil pan,I believe on the driver side.
Now how he is going to check it. I would say your best bet would be to go to a shop and have them put a scanner on the vehicle. That way they can look at all kinds of data.
They need to find your problem and it may turn out to be,that your items that don't work now,are not supposed to,when starting the vehicle.
Now that isn't real helpfu,l but I don't have the vehicle,so I can not do the testing for you.

Try to get free mechanic help I tried this it rly works

You need to check your Fuses.. It sounds like you blew a fuse that controls Those Items..

replace the dome fuse.

i just had the same problem with my f 150 ( 1999), my wipers, washer fluid pump, dome light, door chime stopped, I went thur the manuals, Checked appropated fuses, even changed wiper motor, (nothing worked) out of much internet checking, talking to mechanics, I got frustrated, I started pulling all the fuses under the dash,, I pulled # 15 ,a 5 amp fuse, which has nothing to do with the wipers eletronics, it was a good fuse, when i put it back in, everything came back and working fine. nearest i can figure it was either loose or a dirty contact.

#15 fuse (5 amps) on my box is for : stop lamp switch,( speed control,brake shift interlock,ABS, pcm module inputs.gem module,RABS test connector)
this was just blind luck, maybe it will help you.

These systems are controlled by the Generic Electronic Module (GEM), have a self test run on the system by Kragen, it is free, post codes here.
