Crossing fingers. Car in the shop for parts swapping..

I wouldn’t normally guess the ecu connections or ecu but you do live in the Pacific Northwest so maybe the rainy and humid air got some things corroded? I think a remember a member here that had a horribly corroded set of ecu connectors

at this point im hosed.  if the reset and fuse scraping do not work im down to tracing wires which i have no experience with..  and i am done spending money

i took apart the boost solenoid and the line that leads to the turbos holds pressue,  the lines to the hot pipe and intake are clear.  so it i not a issue with the pressure leaking.

that leaves the wire harness.  im not going there.  nope..  i will make it worse and be unable to sell the car.

so its pretty much down to this test drive.  i have the 14 psi tune in place.  if it still freaks out i will go back to stock and sell it off at the year when i am above water on it. 

seriously bummed.

battery is 9 months old.  and 'seems' very charged.  i have yet to check fuse box and do a test drive.  i am single parenting today with my 5yrold

is the PCM seriously buried behind the firewall insulation AND the rainguard !!???  ugghhhhhh ... can ford not make anything easy ?

Here’s a pic I took when I was running my stereo power wire through the firewall.

You’ll need one of these the remove the wiper arms. There about $10 from any auto part store.

I know it's a long shot but any signs of water on the passenger side footwell! Just trying to help ya out!
It reminds me of the time I was trying to troubleshoot these hidden electrical  gremlins on my other car to later find out  there was water inside the PCM! 
I cleaned the contacts with some electronic cleaner and then let it soak overnight while applying some Wd-40! 
I truly understand you're frustration and been there done that,but try to not give up hope my friend! 
Btw try to monitor for any new Codes on a daily basis!  Z

There is a nut that holds them in place. You remove the nut use the puller to remove the wiper arm.

To reinstall just put the wiper arm back on its previous location, making sure it’s lined up correctly and tighten down the nut.

The mount is cone shaped and splined.
