Hello, I just bought this truck, and the wipers have stopped working. I am overseas military and took it to a mechanic, who replaced the wiper motor and then charged me $400.00 after he could not resolve the problem. I then took the truck to a local Ford dealer, who had to order the wiring diagram because this is a US model vehicle and not produced in the country I am stationed. Now, I am being told that it is the master relay and that these parts are very expensive. How can I be sure the Ford dealership is being honest with me? The parts manager said there are two types of relays....one is rather cheap, but the master relay is very expensive. If I were to get the code from the dealership, what numbers should I be looking for in order to tell me it is the master relay switch? Thank you!
