Windshield wipers completely stopped responding.

forgot to add. the rear power outlets in the body for some reason also stopped working, only the front ones and the interior ones work. this is complete crap on wheels.

Someone needs to tag @Ford Motor Company for your issues, @tarik

This Ford is a horror. The windshield wipers don't work, the front camera doesn't work. The ABS stops working in rainy weather. I've already changed it, nothing helped. Yesterday I replaced the 12V battery for $300. The car only has 50,000 kilometers on it.

Did you replace the battery yourself? Did the BMS get reset?

If it were my truck I’d disconnect the battery cables for 15 minutes (at least). Put the battery on a charger - if it’s not at 100%, charge it fully before reconnecting the battery cables. After reconnecting the battery I’d reset the 12v BCM again. See if it makes a difference.

I charged it to 100% rebooted and had no problems for about a week. and then it wouldn't start again. had to buy a new one

I bought it yesterday for $300 on the Ford website.

today i decided to disassemble the wiper mechanism. it turned out that one of the two bearings was jammed and the motor was very difficult to turn. i washed everything, a lot of rust came out and after that it started turning easily and everything works fine

So your TRUCK has 31,068.56 miles on it, have you breached the 36th month of ownership by now, (not knowing when first service date was)?

That motor and linkage need inspection and repair!!

I need a car every day. Every day without work costs me a lot of money. I can wash the mechanism in 15 minutes and it will work like new again. fraction

It seems as though we have (had) different issues. My wiper motor was simply non- responsive- it wouldn't even throw fluid.
Very glad you found the source as well as a solution.
