      I bought this truck a few days ago from a used car dealership. and am having a hard time with the wipers, they work intermittently. I took it to a mechanic yesterday but the wipers decided to work. so no tracing down the source of the problem. he did tell me that it COULD be the relay switch or a bad wire? I dont have a manual on this truck so no fuse box diagram. also the license plate lights dont work even though the mechanic tested the light socket and it has power, put two new lights in it and ……Nothing. if anyone has an owners manual or just the fuse box layout.I would be much obliged, or any help at all. B)

            I just fixed one of these last week with a similar problem. It ended up having corroded contacts in the plug from the harness to the wiper motor connection. May or may not be your problem but it is palace to start.
