Update for today

This morning dealer was paying, so I put truck in shop for charging system issues. Cost THEM 70.77 because I didn't wanna mess with a new truck very much. Turned out to be a regulator fuse. 30A but do not know where it was.

Then, at 3pm I had my appt for my local Ford dealership. changed the wiper arm/multifunction switch. FREE!! Recall was on 99-00 Ranger that was built in a few cities like the twin cities. About 188 total parts cost. Whatever it was was causing the wipers to go off at random times... Fun to watch but it got annoying quick. Although, it did start some conversations when they were needed.
