Electrical Demons

[Dechstang]

I Recently Purchased a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport with the 4.0 SOHC. I have been having some odd eletrical problems where my rear wiper works when it wants to and some of my dash lights like the cruise control light works whenever it feels like. none of my instrument lights work either ive checked all my fuses and nothing is blown. does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try tilting the steering column before disassembly.
Could be the multi function switch (MFS). Good Luck.

Just went thru the radio/dash/A/C panel light issue. Installed the dimmer switch (The one located on the dash) and that solved most of the lighting issues (the cruise control lights still don't work). BTW, mine has auto lights. Part was $150.00.
