Update relay #9 on the Power Distribution Box is going nutz. I opened the glove box and dropped the lid and also heard a ticking there when I removed the #9 relay from the distro box if that is any help. I was able to get wiring diagrams and they come together several times. No shit. In the Steering Angle Sensor Module, AND in the BCM as well as sharing common wire paths in the harness where a possible short could be crossing them. I will start cutting after I get the relay issue sorted out.

OK, I got Forscan. I scanned it. Nothing. I really wish that it had found something, then I would know what to fix, but I am shooting in the dark here. SO! Since I am doing surgery on a patient in the dark without knowing exactly what is wrong with it, what should I cut at?

So, among the many problems with this particular 2014 Transit Connect is the wipers. They have gone crazy. When you turn on the headlights, they suddenly turn on full speed, and will not quit until you restart the vehicle. BUT when you try to use the wipers separately, they are slow and jerky in operation. I pulled the fuse and they wipers stayed down (#46 under hood box).BUT I heard a relay clicking like mad, it was the R9 relay which the manual insists is not in use. For a non-existant relay, it was sure trying to work hard. When I pulled it out and replaced #46 , the wipers quit acting crazy, BUT the rear window wipers came on. Also the front wipers, though they started to work, worked weakly.I have pulled both multi-function switches from the steering column with no effect, I was hoping it was something simple. No joy.SO! I am open to any help you can give. Suggestions, tips, anything to keep me from pulling out what little hair I have left.
