Standard Ignition Windshield Wiper Switch P/N:DS-474
Take control of your rear wiper with the Standard Ignition Wiper Switch HS-474 — a direct-fit OE-replacement switch (cataloged for the rear position) that puts clear rear-glass visibility back at your fingertips. It installs on the 2000-2001 Ford Excursion, the 1998 Ford Explorer, and the 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details).
If your rear wiper won't respond to the switch, feels intermittent, or the contacts have worn out, this is the mechanical replacement for that control. Always diagnose the wiring and motor before assuming the switch has failed.
