Is this only on automatic/speed sensitive wipers?

.3? They can kiss my ass.

Remove lower steering shroud, update wiper motor software with flash box, reassemble shrouds, and use FDRS to clear codes 23B35C 0.3 Hours

Guess Ford is starting to claw back the UAW raises off the backs of dealers and techs.

Yep. I'm sure we both saw that coming from a mile away.

Guess I'm going to up our door rate at the beginning of the year and add a new labor type for card carrying UAW members.;) Not going to listen to another, "I work for Ford, I should be getting a discount".

Like the signs I see in all the old garages. The rate depends on the situation. :ROFLMAO:

@flip not much to look at, but this is it. Looks like you basically plug it into the wiper motor and it does it’s thing. I’m guessing once it’s green, it’s done.

Is it just me or does this look like a movie prop? I wonder if Ford just devised a placebo, lol.

Also, is it unusual for techs to come to your house/business to do this sort of fix? Glad for it, for sure.

My 86 Escort GT didn’t have wiper issues. Neither did my 67 bug. Or any vehicle since. Why the need to complicate something so basic? 12 volt motor through mechanical mechanisms moves a rubber wiper over window at a user selectable speed. If I need to adjust or the sun comes back out I am capable of making the adjustment.

Duc may have more info but my take is this box they sent plugs directly into the SCCM which is different than most all other software updates are done. I surmise the SCCM has some sort of supplier loaded base software that isn't accessible via FDRS. Whatever is being done, FDRS isn't involved with the exception of clearing any codes after the flash is done.

@Ducati1098 @flip this update is beyond the capabilities of OTA updates?
Yes. The wiper motor logic is built into the wiper modules which are not programmable via FDRS or OTA. So this box basically flashes new programming into those modules through the SCCM via the LIN network since FDRS cant.
