Software Safe Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The windshield wiper motor defaults to this mode when the Hall-effect sensor voltage signal is lost. This can be caused by an obstruction of the windshield wipers, a binding linkage or an electronics concern. The motor will operate in either low or high speeds; intermittent mode is not available. The windshield wipers will not park when software safe mode is active. The windshield wipers can be parked by quickly changing the wiper switch from the OFF to the LOW speed position until the windshield wipers reach the PARKED position.
