I lost my radio and my windshield wipers at the same time, did a thread search and noticed its happened to other people but no answers as to why?! The in dash fuses are separate #26-#27 and neither are blown. is there a common link elsewhere? does anyone have any insight as to why they would fail simultaneously.
Living in Seattle in the wintertime, no wipers=no drivey

I don't know, but now that you mention it, aren't they labeled? I'll go out and check them now....

I checked and there isn't a fuse that controls the wiper and the radio under hood. There are 2 separate relays that control the wipers, but since they don't work at all I don't think it would be the underhood relay

the chilton's books have a pretty good wiring schematic in the back. Have you tried that to see what is in common???

Might be something as simple as a ground...

Ive seen water intrusion at the gem module cause these same symptoms on expeditions due to windshield leaks. Not recommending to throw parts at anything, but Ford GEM modules are crap. If this is bad and has to be replaced, it must be reprogrammed with NGS or newer ford software. Have seen corrosion problems on ignition switch wiring cause several elwctrical issues. Best bet is to just perform basic checks with the DVOM and wiring diagram. Just my 2 cents, good luck.

2005 GT wipers and Radio quit working

My 2005 GT's wipers and radio just up and quit, I checked all of the fuses in the kick panel and under the hood and all were OK. Anyone out there have a solution or ideas? Thx in advance!
