The wipers are on the turn signal stalk where you twist to turn them on, and there is no "single wipe" by pulling the lever, you need to twist and twist back. This annoyed me greatly at first but now I have it dialed--although I occasionally turn on the headlights on the HCH when I mean to wipe because it's the same motion. Anyone coming from a Japanese or European car will find this annoying--I don't know why Ford keeps doing this.
Not true. At least in the '05 - '07's a quick press up on the stalk gets you a single swipe.

I have a keypad on mine, I had it installed when I picked it up, at a very minimal cost. This is an extremely useful feature IMHO, and had gotten used to it on my prior vehicle.
