So I have been having some issues lately with my 05 Fx4. I recently had the gauge cluster repaired due to brake light flashing off and on as well as some light coming on on its own and creating a parasitic drain. Now I have an issue that the wipers will not work, and the radio, power windows and fuel gauge have a roughly 30 second to 1 minute delay before the start working. Have verified that all fuses and relays are good and functional. Am really at a loss on this. Not sure if it is two separate issues or are all from the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Call the cluster repair company back and see what they say. Two of those symptoms are related to an issue with the Accessory Delay Relay (ADR) which is located in the cluster.

 

That makes sense. I will give them a call. It came with a 1 year warranty. Any idea on the wipers?

 

Might want to check your grounds behind left side kick panel. G200 is common to both the cluster and the wipers. Don't see anything else in common.
