Regarding 1999 Mazda/Ford or approximate years around that time:
I've heard this was a well known Ford-ism: the dreaded phantom wiper intermittently-spontaneously turning on.
I saw a Youtube vid that showed how to clean the connectors (built into the handle,) but that did not work. I then
replaced the wiper control switch (easy to do,) but after a few months it started back up...gradually at first and
spontaneous wipe here and there, now does it as bad as it did before the new module. I suspect that the original OEM
Ford directional-wiper control switch/module would be better than an aftermarket one. Any ideas on OEM vs. aftermarket
on this particular item?
