Wipers won't work all the time
I just picked up my Ranger today, 95 regular cab with 200,000 miles. The wipers did not work when it was raining. I ended up leaving them turned on when it was not raining not thinking about turning them off since they were not working. Driving about 45 minutes later, the wipers wiped. So I know the fuse is not blown. The motor works to some extent. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was your resolution? Thanks.

FYI... Some parts stores won't let you return an electrical part if you've installed it.
When I suspected my multi-function switch was going out, I bought one, slaved it in real quick and ended up returning it. I just told them that I used my meter to ohm out the switch and used that as a comparison to my unit.
FWIW, my problem ended up being the wiper motor. It wouldn't work on any of the intermittent settings, worked like a champ on low/high continuous.

Yes, the good old phantom wipers. The multifunction switch is almost always the problem there. For now just pile on the rain-x!
