Try checking the fuses first. There are a set inside the car, and another set inside the engine compartment, on the drivers side, near the windshield. If that doesn't work, it's probably a bad wiper motor.

Wiper fuses, switch and wiper motor replacement are covered in the "Related Questions" below.

Should be a good start...

  • In my experience i have found that the wiper motor cover is the problem, you may check your local Mercury dealer there was a recall for this. you may also check the wiring I have seen wiring that has been eaten through by mice or other varmints.
  • I took it to the Ford dealer for a diagnostic test...$75!!! Turns out the windshield wiper motor had a short in it...Cost me $55 to replace it myself. But,on another note, we did find mice in the engine compartment earlier in the spring! So maybe they caused it!

We had the same problem with our 1993 Mercury Sable. It turns out that it was the Wiper Control Module. It went bad and had to be replaced.
