What should I do if my rear wiper stops working?
The rear wiper has stopped working – both intermittent and full. Fuse is ok. Voltmeter on the fuse shows 14.1 on front wipers and rear screen wash, but 0.6/0.7 on the rear wiper when switched off and 0.9/1.0/1.1 when the column stalk is turned. I have looked at the column stalk and all wires into the connector block look good.
Why does my windshield wiper keep working intermittently?
If the problem is not in the switch, then there could be a bad relay in the circuit (if so equipped), loose fuse, bad ground, and/or the motor could have a bad (intermittent) connection on the armature. Also, of course, you could have a combination of these electrical faults. It’s easy to diagnose.
When do I Know my wiper relay is bad?
One of the quickest indicators that a problem exists with the intermittent wiper relay is when the wipers are not intermittent and only work at one speed. The relay switch sends an electrical signal to the module that controls the operation of the wiper motor and gears inside.
What happens if there is no power to the wiper?
If there is power, the motor is bad. If there is no power, although the motor could “still” be bad, you first want to trace the circuit back to the power source to figure out where the break is. Once the circuit is fixed, of course if the motor still doesn’t work, it’s condemned and replaced.

What are the symptoms of a bad intermittent wiper relay?
1. The windshield wiper blades have one speed 2. The windshield wiper blades don’t work 3. Wiper blades operate at speeds different than you selected 4. Humming noise when the wipers are on
Why is my wiper blade motor not working?
Similar to the issue above, if you notice that your wiper blades are operating at a different speed or intermittent setting than you selected, it’s a good indication that the relay is damaged and needs to be replaced. This is also a symptom that you don’t want to avoid as it may cause the wiper blade motor to overheat and break prematurely.
What’s the problem with the rear wiper on a trailblazer?

A word of caution after investigating I found the electric switch for the boot release didn’t work…. wire on that snapped with me fiddling I suppose or dealers not sure which.
What is the fuse on the rear wiper?

Why is my rear wiper not working on my X-Trail?
I have spent a heap of time trying to get my rear wiper working since it just stopped a few months ago on my 2002 X-Trail. I have confirmed that the wiper is working on a external power supply when detached from the vehicle. I am thinking it is caused by a faulty earth somewhere.

Is the rear wiper on my GMC Sierra not working?
Old trucks: 08 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 Crew Cab, ’03 TB EXT LT I6 Testing the motor is the next thing on my list but Roadie in an earlier post says that the motor is shot in only about 10% of the dead rear wiper problems. In any case, if it is the motor gone south, I will probably hit the junk (oops I mean salvage) yard first for a replacement.
Why is my rear wiper not turning off?

What is the voltage on the rear wiper?
Switch rotated to rear wash position: 14.5. Switch rotated to rear wash and wipe position: 14.48. However, switch rotated to intermittent reads 0.92 and full on: 0.91. The change in reading seems to indicate the column stalk is fine, but a voltage of 0.91 / 0.92 shows there is a fault somewhere.

What happens when a windshield wiper relay goes bad?
When the relay is faulty, the windshield wipers will only work at the same speed that the last relay signal was sent. In layman’s terms, if you had your windshield wipers on the slow speed the last time they were active, and you turn them on again under a different setting, the relay switch should send that updated information to the module.
How does the intermittent wiper relay system work?
This operation is completed thanks to the intermittent wiper relay; an electrical switch that sends a predetermined setting to the wiper module to power the wiper motor. When all of the components involved in the windshield wiper blades work correctly, the system is very convenient.
Why does my car not have a wiper motor?
This is usually caused by the wiper motor not getting the power that it needs due to a bad relay. In most cases, a professional mechanic will replace the intermittent wiper relay and the controls at the same time to ensure all of the supporting connections work smoothly together.
