non working hydraulics are very common especially in ford vehicles, in order to fix the problem you have to go to ur local auto parts store and have them look up the vehicle that you own and find the right part numbers for the hydraulic arms. It is a very simply process and takes no time to change out. Good luck with it.

check brake switch on brake pedal arm

Most likely its the turn signal switch. alot of times if you push the tilt wheel all the way up they will start working again

the multifunction switch is a common problem on fords. the switch controls the wipers, turn signals, high beams and hazards, and sometimes only 1 part of it will fail. in your case it sounds like 2 parts fail at the same time.

it sounds like the wiper transmission has broken/slipped off of the wiper motor. Remove wiper motor and check wiper transmission.

Take the turn signal lever and jiggle it, a lot. If they start working, the switch is bad. You can also turn on the hazards and take hold of the button and push it left , right , forward and back and see if they start working. If so, replace the turn signal/ hazard switch.

Well if you check the local parts stores and they can not get one. The only other option is call the local Ford dealer and order one.
