2 years ago but still saving people money. Just did this today. Drilled a small hole and lubed it up. Was very seized. Wipers are working again, cheers 🍻
I also replicated exactly what you did for my F150 2019 and it worked perfectly. I put some hot glue in the holes just to make sure no water could get in! Thank you sir!
2017 F150 with seized wiper transmission. I followed your video instructions and managed to remove the entire assembly and drilled a few holes in the transmission casting. Inserted some good penetrating oil/lubrication from Seafoam. Heated the casting with a propane torch and added more penetrating oil and it finally released completely. Reassembled and followed your alignment instructions. Great video, great instructions !! Phillip, you're The Man !! Thank You so much !!👍
The wiper issue should be a safety recall. This happened to me today just randomly. Thankfully it stopped raining but this is just ridiculous. Never have i had a vehicle where the wipers just "stopped working" especially without warning.
It's common across all manufacturers. I've seen Ford, GM,Dodge ,VW Mercedes not much you can do about it unless you move to a warmer climate where they don't use road salt...
@@PhillipBailey nah dude my 96 F150 still has fully functioning wipers. Ford messed up on these wipers. Road salt is irrelevant. It's just a shit design.
This video saved me over $900! My linkage had seized up just like the one in the video and this fixed it completely. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Only thing i did different was i drilled holes the proper size to accommodate short bolts with a rubber washer to plug the holes.
I own a 2015 F-150 .... bought it new ... same problems ... plus a door lock issues which was addressed when it was still under warrenty... the wipers have done this twice now... there are other issues with the cruse control too...
If it's a Coyote, check the coolant tube near the intake on the left side of the motor...make sure there's no coolant in the valley below the intake. Check everything going to the heater core. Starter failure can be caused by coolant ingress. If it's the starter I'm thinking of, have fun with finding the right combinations of extensions to get that hidden bolt. Dropping the exhaust would make it easier, but that may be a rabbit hole you may not want to go down. I'm sure it's not your first rodeo...some of the previous F-series had a similar setup. I regret reinstalling the 3rd bolt on mine...should have omitted it the first time I did a starter.
I got mine unseized by soaking it in transmission fluid for a little bit, then wiped it off, torched it but kept flame away from plastic piece on the pivot and it let out so much rust dust shit, reinstalled, works like brand new
Amazing... wiper is exactly my issue on 2018. 130K. Never seen this b4. Unreal cheap. Sunroof is also cheap roof doesnt open anymore. Pieces broken cant replace. Need whole new unit. $2Gs. What a sad thing. Never seen this in any other of my vehicles.

@@PhillipBailey thanks for making this video though it helped me fix mine.
Auto shop quoted me $600, said I needed new transmission and motor. You’re a life safer man, this worked perfectly. Appreciate the help!
Phil…I replicated exactly what you did and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much!!!!!
This worked extremely well on my ‘18 F-150. Thanks so much for the tip.
Glad it helped you out.

Glad it helped you.
You're a lifesaver! thanks a lot! Worked for a f150 2015, it only works after heating with propane
I'm at 84000km and have the same issue with my wipers. I will do the same thing you demonstrated. Thanks alot!!
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Only thing i did different was i drilled holes the proper size to accommodate short bolts with a rubber washer to plug the holes.
Good idea
You, sir, are a genius. You saved me hundreds. Now I can return that wiper motor I bought. Amazing. THANK YOU!!!
Glad it helped you out

Thanks for the tips
This was very helpful, but what I did was instal grease zeros in the holes I drilled and added artic grease to it when I had it freed up.
That's a great idea!
that worked great lets see how long it will last.
I got mine unseized by soaking it in transmission fluid for a little bit, then wiped it off, torched it but kept flame away from plastic piece on the pivot and it let out so much rust dust shit, reinstalled, works like brand new
It works thank you.

Worked like a charm on my 2016, but by the clips cause the darn things break as they get brittle
my 2017 truck does the exact same thing...doesnt start sometimes and then the wipers dont work
These two problems are not likely related
How deep did you drill??
Just through the aluminum. About 1/8 inch
How long you think this would take your average guy?
About an hour to remove and reinstall the wiper transmission assembly and probably another half hour to free it up but depends on how bad it's seized.
@@PhillipBailey did just the way you said. You're the man.
@Oliviaw700 glad it helped you
“Leeeeeever”. “Retime it”. Good video but annoying words to use
Sukses saudarakuh
