Wipers and igntion buzzwer issue
Just picked up the truck 1995 Ranger XLT. The key buzzer only buzzes for a few seconds, if you move the ignition it buzzes for a few seconds each time its moved. The wipers only work when the buzzer is dinging. and the wipers when turned off stay in the up position. I replaced the ignition mech and the on off wiper relay. What am i missing in this weird scenario??

Welcome to the forum
What engine?
Manual or automatic?
2WD or 4x4?
I know, why would I need that for wipers and a buzzer..........????
Well the wiring diagrams can be different depending on the options
Anyway, next time
Only thing the buzzer and wipers have in common is the GEM(generic electronic module)
Also called a Body computer
The buzzer itself is usually built-in to the GEM, and GEM activates buzzer when key is left in and door opens or head lights are left on and door opens
And the wiper switch isn't connected to the wipers it is connected to the GEM and GEM controls the wiper relays and Park, see drawing below
GEM is behind the Radio in the dash
Google: 1995 ranger GEM images
It could just be a loose connector on GEM, but unlikely
And could be wiring issue outside the GEM, but when you add the Buzzer issue with wiper issue, my guess is GEM problem
GEMs come in different "flavors" depending on the options in the vehicle, i.e. 2WD or 4x4, power locks, power windows, ect.....
