2002 Ford Windstar Wiper Malfunction, Warning Light, and Stored Fault - Possible Windshield Wiper Relay Problem

Hey there! I've had a similar issue with my 2000 Ford Galaxy. Not an auto expert, but I've got some experience from wrenching on these old Fords. Turned out to be a defective cable connection in my case. My trusty local workshop took care of it, and it set me back €155. By chance, has your Windstar got any recent changes or maintenance? Sometimes newly installed parts could cause complications. Sharing more details about your vehicle might be useful for a more accurate diagnosis. Hope this helps!

Hey! Interesting to hear about your Galaxy. Seems like old Fords share a thing or two in common. My Windstar's done about 87952km now, and I got her serviced not too long ago. However, this wiper issue popped up afterwards. I kept the maintenance pretty straightforward, but maybe, like you said, something got disrupted. It's back to the workshop for me, it seems. I'm just crossing my fingers it won't cost an arm and a leg! Thanks for your advice!

No worries! I reckon it could just be something minor like a loose connection or a faulty switch. In my experience, these old Fords are pretty hardy; they just need a bit of TLC every now and then, like all of us. With your recent service, it's quite possible something just got knocked loose. Fortunately, that’s often a quick fix. Whatever it is, hope your workshop sorts it out without charging too much. Fingers crossed for ya, and let us know how it turns out!

Cheers, bud! Hearing your experience leaves me feeling a bit more optimistic. From your mouth to my mechanic's ears about it being a quick fix! And I absolutely agree, these old buggers are pretty sturdy but occasionally demand a little extra attention. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted on how it pans out. Thanks for the helpful chat!
