Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Windshield wipers would just turn on and start spraying fluid -- took many attempts to turn off.
Windshield wiper and washer will turn on by itself even with switch in off position, possibly due to electrical problems.
I never thought much about the problem with my wipers, untill my sister bought a ford ranger not long ago. Then she started to have the same problems with her wipers also.
Dome light will not go off. With the dome light on at night, driver is not able to see outside of the cab. This problem was intermittent at first, beginning in april of 1998. Dealer has been contacted 4 times about the problem. However, dealer has not attempted to look at the vehicle. *ak wipers go on and off with out the driver's action. The air bag failed to deploy during head on collision and the driver sustained permanent injuries.
