There'll be a linkage which connects the two wipers together... that may have come loose or gotten broken otherwise.
no. Make sure wiper is in "OFF" position before you turn off your car.
To replace a windshield wiper motor for a 1998 F150, first remove the bottom trim on the window. Then remove both wiper blade assemblies and all screws on the metal cowling. Remove the retaining clip from the wiper motor linkage and pull the controls rods off.
Try popping off the cover at the bottom of the wiper. There should be a 15mm sized nut(I think). Make sure this nut is tightened down good. If that doesnt work then the linkage has come undone.
If the wipers on your F150 are not working, start by checking the fuse associated with the wiper system, as a blown fuse can easily cause them to stop functioning. If the fuse is intact, inspect the wiper motor and linkage for any signs of damage or disconnection. Additionally, check the wiper switch on the steering column for any issues. If these components appear to be in good condition, it may be necessary to consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
Sounds like a broken switch.
The best place is to purchase a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual.
Buy a Haynes Repair Manual for your vehicle. It will explain just about everything.
look for the leak and repair it . I would do that before i thought about buying a new tranny.
