The delay and main wiper system sometimes will stop, I can jiggle the control know on the turn signal lever, or use a different setting and it will work again. If while using the wipers, I have to use the turn signals, then it may stop the wipers and I have to reset the control knob.

Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Dual fuel tanks would have fuel overflowing from one tank to another, and then would spill out. Also, windshield wipers would stop on their own. Wiper problem was intermittent.
The 4wheel drive, u/joints and drive train have gone out on the truck 4 times, the electrical system has never worked right from day one and has been taken into dealer several times with complaints but never fixed (autolocks on doors and windows don't work after heavy rain or wet, heavy snow storm) the last time the 4wheel drive went out, the front drivers wheel flew off the truck while traveling on the highway. Lug nuts and posts were not loose nor sheared off. Upon contacting ford customer service each time truck taken in, have been told that there have been "no" recalls of any type on our vehicle except for one to check the bolts on the front bumper. The following have shown occassional problems since 1993, but have consistently become worse with the age/mileage of truck: intermitten wipers do not work, dimmer light and other gauges do not work in dash. The transmission has a lot of backlash/kick when putting into gear. The ignition and alternator are consistently getting worse, sometimes it takes turning the key up to ten or more times to get the truck to start. Currently, once the engine gets hot, the truck spits and sputters, almost killing when you slow down and then attempt to accelerate again. The truck recently had a complete tune-up and replacement of all parts with ford authorized parts.
When windshield wipers are on they hesitate and do not operate properly. Problem occurs intermittently as if a short is in motor wires,or switch. Dealer contacted and cannot remedy problem. Problem still exists.
The entire signal switch which governs lights & windshield wipers keeps burning out. Had called the manufacturer who said no recalls. The dealer cannot locate any problems with electrical system.
Both fuel pump systems have been replaced four times.*ak wiper switch failed. Air conditioner vent replaced.
