2011+ Ford F150 Windshield Wiper Problems

How to fix windshield wipers that won't turn off ... EVER!

Tech Tips

This time on Resurrection Motorsports, we’re zeroing in on one of the more frustrating (and surprisingly common) issues: windshield wipers that won’t turn off ... EVER!

Whether they’re stuck on intermittent, low, or going full blast in perfectly clear weather, this is one problem that goes from mildly annoying to completely unacceptable in a hurry.

Why does this happen on 2011+ F-150s, you ask? The answer usually comes down to a few key culprits. In many cases, it’s a faulty wiper control module or a failing multifunction switch. In other situations, it’s often caused by a bad relay or even wiring issues within the system. Modern trucks rely heavily on electronic controls, and when something goes wrong, the result isn’t always subtle.

On top of that, if your truck has higher mileage or has seen its fair share of Midwest winters - which I thankfully don't have to deal with in Florida - moisture intrusion and corrosion can start to play a role. The bottom line is electrical components don’t age gracefully when exposed to the elements, and something as simple as a compromised connection can cause your wipers to behave like they’ve got a mind of their own.

While this might not be the most glamorous repair out there, it’s one that makes a huge difference in day-to-day drivability. Nobody wants to deal with wipers dragging across a dry windshield or refusing to shut off when you park the truck.

Even better, this is a fix that many DIYers can tackle without diving too deep into the truck.
