The vehicle listed above is an SEL. I replaced the left wiper motor that was not working correctly with a new Motorcraft motor.
It would work intermittently if I tapped the arm with some persistence. Now it will not work at all. The right side is controlled by the left and will work if the left works.
I also replaced the 50-amp fuse in the engine compartment before I replaced the motor as I could not tell for certain if that had blown.
I suppose the new motor could be faulty, but it was brand new. Am I missing something?
I read something about a Ford scan tool if the battery is replaced, so I did not disconnect the battery when I replaced the motor because that is not in my scope of knowledge. Again, the right side does work if and only if the left works.
Thanks for your advice.
