Windshield Wiper controller

hello, I'm the proud owner of a 1983 Turbo Coupe (you can see it on the Cool Cats viewer photos) The car has a few electrical probs, one of which is the windshield wipers. There is no delay or speed functions, they wipe at the same speed regardless of what position the switch is in. Also, when the switch is turned off, the wipers stop in that position. They never return to the "rest" position, either. I'm not familiar with the system, but it sounds like there's a control box or something that has gone bad. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or what parts I'll need? Thanks in advance

Daniel

Replacing the wiper motor will more than likely fix your problem. My brothers 92 Cougar had the same problem and it was just a bad wiper motor causing all the weird things to happen.

had the same problem in my 84 T/C and after 2 motors and 2 switches found that it was the wiper govenor. It is located directly above the fuse box. takes about 30 min to change. Just need to find one at the slavage becuse i think ford doesn't make then any more. couldn't find a replacement and i work at a parts store.
