    The best brand of windshield wipers????

    WOW !!! See you guys are just the best !!! I knew I just had to ask. My back one is really worse than yours was, Toypaseo. It is really bad. I can stand a bad wiper unless it is the back one and the driver's side. My driver's side is leaving a streak un-wiped about 7 inches wide right in...

    Ok it has been a couple weeks now and NO GHOST WIPERS....You guys are the best. I hope it lasts but for now all is well. I also fixed my dad's old ranger. The steering column was locking up when you turned it. It turned out to be that the screws holding the column cover was very loose so it...

    Wipers run on their own

    ok, took the switch off today. Didn't see much corrosion there. Took it apart like the Google picture above showed. Totally worse than the picture above. I cleaned everything and put dielectric grease on it all, put it back together, put it back in the steering wheel and it all still works...

    Wipers run on their own

    Documentation would be great but only if you have time for it. I can do anything with instructions and pictures. I found a switch on a site for $49.99 for it. But I am hoping I won't need it. But even $49.99 is better than over $300 which is what a mechanic was going to charge me to fix it...

    Thanks all and Thanks Rollinstone for the laugh. You wouldn't think it was so funny if it scared the crap out of you every time they came on ... LOL I went to AutoZone yesterday and got some dielectric grease. I walked in and looked around and finally ask for help. They showed me this...

    Wipers run on their own

    I will be riding down the road and all of a sudden my wipers come on. The faster I go the more they do it. They also come on by themselves when I use the turn signal. The right one will not go all the way down where it belongs and I believe this might be the reason they start on their own...
