The front windshield wiper turns on by itself, sometimes it only goes on once and other times it will do it for a few times. It used to only happen once every few months, now there are days that it happens every few minutes. I have not taken the car to the dealer yet, because I want to get more information on this to see if it will become a recall or not (since others have had the same problem).

I own a 1999 Mercury Sable, bought it new. Since I have owned the car, windshield wipers will turn on periodically. This might happen no more than once or twice a year. Recently, while driving in a rainstorm, the washer fluid started to sprayeed out. It only lasted a split second and so far has not happened again. The washer fluid is a new occurence; before, it was just the wipers coming on and swishing a time or two.

While driving in a rain storm, the windshield wipers failed without warning. The dealer stated the fuse box malfunctioned. The consumer stated the service technician from the dealer replaced the fuse box, however the wipers have failed for the second time after it was repaired.

On a recently purchased 1999 Mercury Sable there are minute scratches within the area of the windshield swept by the wipers. These scratches act as a refractor causing glare when traveling toward the sun and from oncoming vehicles lights and overhead street lights, etc. Upon further investigation it was noted that when the washer was actuated that the wipers would make an upward sweep prior to fluid being dispensed onto the windshield. The wiper action scoured the windshield with the dirt or deposits on the glass causing these scratches. My wife stated the glare is similar to that she experience prior to her cataract surgeries. From a recent discussion with a service manager of a Ford dealer it was learned that most late model Ford products washer operate the same way, I. E. The washer pump motor and wiper motor are energized simultaneously and the delay of the fluid application is due the fluid having to be pumped from a remote reservoir. Nlm.
