I have a 2011 Explorer. My wipers are turned off on the handle, but they are going at the slowest intermittent speed and wont stop. They will only turn off when I turn the key off. What would be causing this?
Do you have the Rain Sensing Wipers? Could possibly be the control module.I have a 2011 Explorer. My wipers are turned off on the handle, but they are going at the slowest intermittent speed and wont stop. They will only turn off when I turn the key off. What would be causing this?
I'll Pray for you, but get rid of it. Sell it.........best regards Plum

Welcome to the Forum jshanntoo.:wavey:My 2011 explorer started doing this a couple weeks ago. I believe the problem is because when I turn the rear window wiper on (counter clockwise) or turn off the wipers (counter clockwise) I have added to much pressure to the arm. The arm has shifted on the column (loosened) to where the off-setting can’t really be reached. If I turn the wiper switch fully on with enough pressure (clockwise) the arm re-shifts. I then gently turn it counter clockwise to the off-setting and it remains off. This has become an frustration being I live in the Northwest where it rains 80% of the year. I will take it in to have it serviced this week and post their results.

I also have the same problem with my 2011 Explorer limited. It can happen at anytime, and last for minutes. I play around with the arm and then it will stop. Problem is I don't know which movement stops it. I'm sure this is an issue Ford is aware of, much like the defect in the arm rest, the worn bushings on the upper control arm. It's unfortunute Ford continues to accept low tolerance on parts. Anyway, I hate to come across negatively, but all these little items add up to thousands of dollars. This made even worse after replacing the transfer case last year, after only 128,000 km. If you can send a Ford Angel my way that would be sweet!Definitely keep us posted, jshanntoo. If you need help from my neck of the woods, send me a PM with your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership. I'll check out some options and see what I can do.

Yes I do. I hope this doesn't pose a problem signing in.Do you have both a 2004 and 2011 Explorer? Your profile show 2004.
Do the wipers come on by themselves when driving and do you have the rain sensing wipers?

Hello Peter,Yes I do. I hope this doesn't pose a problem signing in.
yes they do come on by themselves!Hello Peter,
Sorry, just getting ready to headout. No automatic wipers. It seems if I play around with the arm, it'll go a way. I have not brought it to the dealer, but with winter around the corner, I will have to soon.
