When I bought the car, the rear wiper worked normal. Here lately, it would work intermittently. Now it wont work at all. I looked for a fuse, but couldn't find one. Anyone know whats wrong? When I push the fluid button, it will spray fluid out but it still won't come on. When the switch is one, it doesn't make any noises or anything. I'm clueless

My motor does the same thing. Eventually I'm going to fill the hole and just rain-x the glass. I've tried three different motors already and they all do maybe one or two swipes then go idle for ten minutes. They are also driven by plastic gears in the housings so I think they just get worn out...

Sounds like its time for a rear wiper shaving.

I did put some rain-x on it the other day, but when it sits and collects, you cannot see anything backing up. plus I live in a condo and I dont wanna back into anyones car in the PL.

You can try the classifieds here and get another motor. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I've had. When they work they're nice to have that's for sure. My rear defrosters not even working anymore so I get those same scary feelings in the walmart parking lot going home from work. I know it's the wiring cause that switch doesn't even light up anymore. With a 240 it's always something.....

I would first check the power at the switch, if you have power at the switch then check the power at the motor, if you have power to the switch and not the motor, then the switch could be bad, I would buy a new switch. If you have power at the switch and motor, could be a bad motor, I would buy a new motor. And, check all grounds too.

Part #'s

Switch: 25260-40F00 List $32.83Motor: 28700-40F00 List $277

Pricey, but it will no doubt be a good part.
