#708613July 14, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON SPONTANEOUSLY. THEY DO NOT OPERATE AT HIGH SPEED UNLESS I ACTIVATE MY TURN SIGNAL WHICH WILL ACTIVATE THE HIGH SPEED (BUT NOT ALWAYS). A RIGHT HAND TURN (WITH OR WITHOUT TURN SIGNAL) SEEMS TO TRIGGER THEM TO COME ON (BUT NOT ALWAYS). WHEN THEY DO COME ON SPONTANEOUSLY, THEY WILL BE IN THE PAUSE MODE AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS. THEY STOP OPERATING JUST AS SPONTANEOUSLY. THEY HAVE COME ON AT TIMES EVEN BEFORE I LEAVE MY DRIVEWAY, SOMETIMES AFTER 20 MILES OR MORE, BUT USUALLY WITHIN 1-2 MILES OF DRIVING. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT VARSITY TOLD ME HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THE NEXT DAY HE TOLD ME HE HAD 5 VEHICLES THAT MORNING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT FORD ENGINEERS WERE LOOKING INTO IT. I HAVE A FEAR THE WIPERS WILL NOT OPERATE IN A RAINSTORM AND I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *AK
