stevefuller Stranger Registered: 07/26/07 Posts: 4	Can someone please tell me where the wiper control module is please? (Grand Marquis 2003) I can see the lighting module up behind the dash , but not the W.C.M. . The view is very restricted , and I cant get a hand in there to search for it.do I need to dismantle anything to get to it ? Thanks.

But on a 2003+, there is no WCM - all of the wiper functions were moved into the motor assembly, with the wiring going right from the MFS to the motor units. _________________________ -Derek -Panther info & FAQs- Former owner of a Grand Marquis with a few mods, Grand Marquis "LSE S/C"

( july 2002 manufactured) So if the wipers only go when at max speed and wont park, And the screen wash wont go at all either, Could it be the motor internal electronics at fault . I have already replaced the stalk M.F.S. Thanks again - this has been very helpfull.

So it's very possible your issue is with that. There was some problems with early build 2003s, like yours, having wire harness chaffing issues around the wiper cowl. Inspect the wiring in this area as well. _________________________ -Derek -Panther info & FAQs- Former owner of a Grand Marquis with a few mods, Grand Marquis "LSE S/C"

Can the wiring be repaired by taping up the chaffed areas or do I need to purchase a new wiring harness? _________________________ 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis Dual Exhaust P71 Zip Tube HPP Sway Bar http://cgarison.blogspot.com
