Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving windshield wipers turn off and on whenever they want to. they sometimes will not run at all or they will stop running during use. the dome light also stays on and will not turn off causing a glare on the window. it started doing it with the passenger door then the driver's door started the same problem. i checked with a dealer and it seems to have been a problem with rangers for many years now and still troubles many owners right up to the 2001 models. *mr *nlm *dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis**739942
