@Miket5r Can you paste these links in you first post? There have to be a lot more people having this issue and we need as many as we can to report it.


@Ford Motor Company Is this even on your radar yet? This is dangerous.

That diagram is not exact to the vehicle. There are 2 high speed settings. The first is the normal, continuous sweep(fast). The second is the super fast setting. Every vehicle has these same 2 ”fast” settings. Those of us that are having issues are having them with the first “fast” setting. Go play with your wipers to see what I’m talking about.

How about that, just stumbled onto this thread. I thought I was going nuts the other night! I kept having to fidget with the damn thing and was getting kinda pissed.

Is this behavior isolated to high / lux or applicable to all so far? Thanks.

It happens on my mid Wildtrak. Its a bummer in heavy snow.

This would apply to all. All broncos have same wiper control.

This is not the Bronco wiper control.
There are two continuous settings and three intermittent settings. The wipers are switching to intermittent all by themselves when the switch is set to continuous. Read the fucking posts.

And down goes Easy-V for the count! (Best imagined in a Howard Cosell voice)

Happening to me every time I use the wipers. Super frustrating.

I submitted a ticket to @Ford and have been in communication w/Abby. Suggest others do the same.

Oh good Lord, where is Ford sourcing Bronco components from? I'm beginning to wonder if mine being a possible '24 build is a bad thing now. Good luck to all that have this problem. I hope Ford can find a fix soon. You're correct, this is a safety issue.

So at least according to an info request to Ford, the wipers are speed dependent in the auto positions.

The first four settings are the auto modes and are variable speeds dictated by the actual speed of the vehicle. You have four levels of wiper “aggression” so to speak. 1 being the mildest and 4 being the most aggressive.

The constant speeds are low and high and are the last two modes. If this issue is occurring in the low or high mode then there is a severe issue.

I’m guessing they’re in the auto (intermittent) modes but what I am unsure of is if the issue is irregardless of the speed changing which would be opposite of designed intent. Any additional info you can pass along will be great.
