Windshield wiper error and warning light in Ford Transit 2020: Need advice and experience

Wipers don't work properly

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Fault stored

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 2020 Ford Transit (gasoline, 104,912 km). The windshield wipers are acting up and there are error messages as well as a warning light in the speedometer. I suspect that the relay for the windshield wipers is defective. Have you ever had similar problems and how did you deal with them in the workshop? Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience last time. Please let me know your experiences and advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a 2017 Ford Transit (diesel, 98,000 km) and recently had a similar problem. My engine was running irregularly and warning lights were flashing. The diagnosis was a faulty relay, just like in your case. It wasn't a big problem, just a bit of a scare, it took a bit of time in the workshop to replace it. So don't take it lightly, get it checked as soon as possible. It's not a big deal, but it can become a bigger problem in the long run if you don't get it fixed.

Hi, thanks for the reply. That sounds like a pretty close match to my situation. Can you remember what you paid for it at the garage? And have any other problems cropped up since then, or did everything go smoothly?

Yes, I remember the repair costs very well. It was exactly €375 to fix the broken relay. It may be a bit expensive, but I haven't had any problems since. My Transit now runs like clockwork. So I'd say it was definitely worth getting it fixed straight away. Have you already made an appointment with the garage?

Moin, yes, I've just made an appointment for next week. It's more expensive than I thought. But I don't want to risk causing any additional problems. It's better to get it sorted now. I hope my transit runs smoothly again afterwards. Thanks for your help, that was really reassuring! See you around, take care!

I am afraid that you no longer have a normal "relay" installed, but that the relay is installed directly in a control unit that is responsible for the wiper. The only thing that can help here is a new control unit or you can take the control unit to a company that specializes in control unit repairs. MFG
