Thread: Clifford the truck :: 1999 Ford F-150

Its not bad up her in CT, emission laws aren't too strict, and they're no problem if you know the right shop to g to
And rally regulations aren't too bad up in NE. I'm not too sure how my rally car would do with SoCal regulations haha

Not too well probably haha.

well forgot about this forum for a week haha oops, just recently bought my old mercedes back from a buddy i sold it to. needless to say its in a lot worse condition than when i had it. so im in the process of slowly rebuilding it ground up and giving it to my sister for her birthday.

onto the truck though, a little issue its had since i got it tht never seemed to big of a deal until yesterday, my windshield wiper stalk acts weird?
long story short when i turn the wiper setting it doesnt do anything to the wipers, if i press it in quickly i can get it to wipe a few times but i have to keep pressing it if its raining hard (which is obviously not safe)

i can get the last 2 speeds to work but on rare occasions, about 2/10 times can i get the last 2 to work, but every speed before them doesnt work at all.
how can i go about testing to see the problem?

and i wont be able to take anything off my parts truck as i pulled the motor, harness, ECU, and rear diff and had the rest scrapped

any help with my wiper problem would be great

Sounds like a switch problem? Have you done something to wiring?

2007 F150 XLT FX2 SPORT - 5.4l 3V 3.73 LIMITED SLIP EDGE/EVOLUTION PROGRAMMER

Only wiring I messed with was fixing wiring for drivers door speaker, nothing else

Well its been a while since I updated this and I got quite a lot done on the truck lately.
-Replaced the motor with another 4.2v6 (old one started burning a bit too much oil and I got the new motor fo cheap)
-replaced transmission (came with new motor, had less miles on it)
-replaced front calipers with rebuilt ones
-new bushings and mounts for 70% of truck (OEM)
-replaced all relays and fuses (precautionary)
-newish tires all around
-replaced ebrake cable (old one seemed a bit too worn for my comfort)
-flushed and replaced every fluid I could think of at dealership
-new spark plugs, wires, distributor
-new air filter
-had throttle body and intake mani off and cleaned at a buddies shop

So as you can tell I got a lot done lately haha
Decided to put wat little I had left of my parts truck and some buddis connections to get this thing running like new and ready for the winter

Things left to do:
-fix OBD2 port
-check problem with windshield wiper stalk
-get new headliner (mines sagging/coming off in the very front and rear)
-replace seats (drivers seat is torn up)

Sounds like you have been very busy! I'm glad to hear you have gotten so much fixed up and hopefully have it running all smooth by now.
