Well when i push in the **** that sprays the fluid and cleans the windows nothing happens and when i turn the **** that controls the speed of the wiper arms nothing happens. I'm assuming that i just need to replace the switch but not sure how difficult it is since its in the steering column. Has anyone else replaced theirs on a 98 ranger or give any advice? Thanks

 

check your fuses. i got myself with that many times. they are usually your problem

 

Well sometimes it eventually works and sometimes i give up so if it was a fuse it wouldnt work at all sorry for not clarifying that earlier.

 

Its an easy swap. You just remove the plastic column trim and a couple screws and a couple plugs.
