WINDSHIELD WASHER OPERATION ISSUES

FORD:
2006 E-150, E-250, E-350, E-450

ISSUE
Some 2006 E-Series vehicles may exhibit an issue with windshield washer operation.

ACTION
Use the following Service Procedures to check ground G106 (and G107 if diesel) for a loose or broken connection.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Inspect ground G106 (and G107 if diesel) attachment point on the front inner fender on the passenger side of the engine compartment (2006 E-Series Wiring Diagram (WD) Page 151-35). The ground wire is attached to a stud on the head of a bolt. The stud or stud bolt head may break off cleanly from the end of the bolt leaving the ground wire loose with no obvious attachment point.

2. Remove the bolt or any remaining portion of the existing bolt if broken.

3. If the bolt had broken, locate the G106 (and G107 if diesel) wire eyelet(s) and secure in the existing weld nut hole with a new fastener with corrosion resistant finish. Torque the bolt to 106 lb-in (12 N.m).

4. Verify windshield washers operate properly and if a problem still exits refer to Workshop Manual, Section 501-16 for normal diagnostics.
