2013 Ford Edge Wiper Issue

Can't turn off delay wiper

[@scottmcaroo2445]

A big thank you, I know it's 5 years since you have posted. Just completed the job for $60.00 (part) and 15 minutes. Ford wanted $400.00.

[@TwinCites4Life]

This is a very common issue on fords. Should be a recall.

[@classrockin]

Good video sir, the wipers on our Ford Edge run as soon as the key is in the on position, no matter the setting on the switch. After watching this video, I feel confident that I can do the job. FYI to anyone that needs to replace this part, Amazon has OEM Motorcraft available for 35.00 Part # SW 7688 Note that this switch does NOT work with rain sensing wipers

[@fcovilla8366]

Just by the quantity of views of this video we can see how poor the Ford quality is on its components. I just put on $2k on repairs due to other issues on this Ford edge 😭. Thanks for sharing this video, really helpful,

[@byronbostick3612]

Just finished following your video step by step. Thank you so much for posting it. I had no problems resolving the same issue with my 2013 Edge. Saved me from all the frustration my wife was giving me over the issue.

[@bleeckerstblues]

I just replaced the switch on my 2013 Edge today, thanks to your video. 👍🏻 This must be a common problem because Auto Zone had the part in stock! I had so buy a new socket set because the one I had did not have a 9/32 driver which I needed for the steering column cover but aside from that it was a breeze. Thanks for the instructive video!

[@D.Frasure]

2011 Ford Edge is doing this. just ordered one off of Amazon a Motorcraft part for $34 and change with prime 2-day shipping. Motorcraft SW-7688 Switch Assembly. hey thanks for taking the time for the video this will help me get mine done.

[@genkidamatrunks6759]

I swear my edge has more damn little problems. Thank you for this video.

[@HodgePodgeVids1]

Apparently this model is full of electrical issues

[@uhill74]

Yeah. Great car but stupid crap is driving me nuts....like my capless gas tank sensor constantly tripping

[@cindyawes]

I got it done. On my 2011 Edge I needed a 7mm socket wrench for the steering column, a 10 mm for the lower piece and a 5/32 Allen wrench for the actual wiper switch. Once I figured that out it was pretty easy.

[@mikasm9875]

Thank u for great video.. It was easier then I thought it would.

[@mikasm9875]

Thanks for awesome tips.

[@candacebrown7173]

THANK YOU!!!!!! This has been such a pain!!!! I have been pulling over and removing the wiper fuse and replacing! GOING TO BUY PIECE TODAY!!!!

[@Namaste2u2032]

I've been doing the same thing on my 2011 edge. It really should be a recall .

[@pfoxx81]

How do you remove the fuse? This just happened to me this morning and I’m on a road trip😞

[@katiejames8242]

Saaameeee

[@MisterEAlaska]

Same issue here. Appreciate the video. I just ordered one from the local dealer (only place that stocks it locally) for $39.00. Walmart has it for $25. Part # SW-7688. There are 3 different types. Delay, no delay and rain sensing. Know before you order. 2013 Ford Edge I just completed the switch. Notes I made that differ from the video: The 2 plastic pieces are snapped together really well!! You don’t need to do anything to the bottom plastic kickplate. It wouldn’t move for me anyway. Also my bottom plastic piece wouldn’t come out so I just opened them like an alligators mouth. No problems there. Tools required. Torx T10 Star bit, 1/4” crescent with 9/32 socket and 3” extension. I recommend you pull fuse #4 from under the hood to remove power.

[@ewamaas5354]

I have a 2013 Edge and this is happening to me too. Is the part number a FORD part? I want to stick with Ford parts. Thanks in advance.

[@MisterEAlaska]

It's a not exactly a Ford part number because Ford doesn't make the switch. The part number SW-7688 is what the Ford dealer sold me and it works just fine.

[@BoslagerBBQ]

My dealer wants $70, Advanced Auto has it for $27 same day.

[@cosanostra421]

I thought my car was the only one with this issue my car has a same problem 2013 Ford Explorer and finally I'm replacing the wiper switch this definitely should be a recall from Ford not out of my pocket

[@classrockin]

Agreed, seems to be a very common problem with this model of Ford, should have flagged a recall

[@almalorena7426]

Omg!!! Wipers on my explorer are driving me crazy! Definelty doing this for a spring break diy project. Thanks!!

[@MisterEAlaska]

Alma Lorena I just completed it. Recommend you check my post before starting.

[@shellijohnson9918]

I had to get the rain sensing ones, so more expensive, but the hardest part was figuring out the tools to use. 9/32, a socket extension, and the 5/64 allen wrench for the screws.

[@uhill74]

Just finished mine. Thanks for this. I would just mention you need to use a pretty small allen wrench to get the 2 screws off of the old wiper handle. Also prying off the plastic panel is a little tricky. I just finally took a breath and pulled it off with some force. It didn't come off easy.

[@GATOROC1]

Great video and thanks for the information! Our '13 Edge has the same issue, but it's the rear wiper. I will be ordering a switch and hopefully that will fix the issue.

[@davidsotolongo9038]

I'm having this issue on my '13 Edge with my rear wiper also, did replacing the wiper switch fix the problem for you?

[@zero12eight]

Thank you for posting this video! The panels gave me a little more trouble on my ‘14 Edge (I was worried I would accidentally break a closure) but once I got those and the stalk off it was easy-peasy 👍🏼

[@tonymorton1856]

Great video and was as easy as you made it look - thanks. Saved me who knows how much money and time taking it to the dealer or repair shop

[@jeffcarter986]

Thanks your video was very helpful I didn't have to remove the bottom plate at all

[@robertgreen8393]

Jeff Carter Same here, No need to take the bottom panel off

[@joeyjojo5]

Thanks for posting, was able to fix using this as a guide

[@danm.4653]

Thanks for the video. It was brief and to the point. You helped me tremendously with your helpful hints. Thanks 😊 again.

[@1risingphoenix283]

Mine have been doing this for 2wks now. Thank you for this video

[@diarmuidcdc]

Having same issue on my Escape, and Hopefully Changing the Switch out will fix the issue, thanks for the video :)

[@FernandoLopez48]

Did you end up replacing the switch and did it work?

[@cucar8761]

good vid, but you don't need to do anything but crack the bottom from the top, and you can lift the top right off without doing any bolt removal. its super simple

[@waynedecamp5791]

Thanks for the video. Easy to follow and made the repair real easy.

[@jessew.2200]

Thanks for the video I was wondering what the heck was going on good to see it seems like an easier fix then I was thinking it was going to be.

[@destinydunn6397]

I don't have an edge I have a taurus but the setup is very similar and I was able to get it done! Thank you!

[@HairKingBlake]

Used this video to fix same issue! Great work! Why the hell are star pattern screws still a thing

[@uhill74]

Wow you did all this in a suit? Thanks for this. Awesome.

[@surge3518]

Thanks for the info. I just turned my rain sensing option back on as a temporary fix. I can’t remember why I turned rain sensing off but it must have been annoying. I guess we’ll find out next time it rains lol.

[@weeronnie100]

Nice 1 bud was thinking it was the control arm on mine now i know cheers 👍

[@KenG8505]

Repair shop told me that this is a common problem with Fords, eventually the wipers will just stay on always causing people to wonder if you are crazy to have your wipers on during a sunny day. I found that this happens after you've had your wipers on ,turn them off then restart your car . They will shut off by turning the wipers on and off a couple of times. But this video is obviously the answer to the problem. Thanks.

[@Darrylwcor]

My wipers could be turned off initially by turning them on and off, but they eventually stayed on intermittently and there was nothing that I could do to stop them. Eventually led to switch replacement. Thanks for the post!

[@nobody126]

Thanks for posting. I have the same problem. I’ll do the same.

[@Vetown]

Helpful video .

[@Interlinked]

Hi, I’m having the same exact issue with my 2011 Ford edge. I’m not too mechanically inclined. Exactly what tools am I going to need to perform this repair?

[@alg1103]

Thanks this worked well

[@jazrosales2008]

I wonder if this would help with a 2011. The wipers turn off every 20 seconds when being operated.

[@cardonecucina4799]

I ordered the arm and have it. I'm just struggling with the tools. I've been to 3 places that want $150 to replace - thats crazy. I showed the video to the auto parts store and they couldn't figure out the tools. Can someone please kindly tell me very specifically the exact tools i need to purchase. The men in those places are clueless. I have a 2013 explorer. Tia

[@ejlouks18]

Part is actually $39.20 through Ford Motor

[@andrewfreeman88]

The more expensive one is for the rain sensor model

[@gabriellemena5728]

Does this work for all Fords.?

[@trentcofaxmtg7501]

tldr: he replaced the wiper switch....

[@jwhit4075]

Thank you for the video, what size is the star bit to unscrew the switch?

[@cindyawes]

Did you need a special tool to remove the screws? What did you use?

[@darrylcornett7505]

cindyawes at about 2:10 I show the tool to remove the switch. Can get it pretty cheap just about anywhere.

[@gway228]

After watching this video I don't think it's my windshield motor anymore. 😅. But how can I be sure that's the problem ..

[@carloslee5589]

my 2011 edge the wiper isnt working maybe i should buy a new switch also what a problem car

[@Terespop]

Easy I liked the video I’m doing this
