strange rear wiper problem
hey guys, i've had a 82 gsl for about two months with rear wiper and a switch next to the cruise control. well the rear wiper has never worked. when i press and hold the button down (for the squiter), the front wipers go on. so I check for power to the wires. There is power to it. So I adjusted the contacts on the lift support. and made sure it was making contact. when i turned the key, the front wipers turned on and i couldn't turn it off until i disconnected the rear wipers. what's going on? anyone have had this problem?
Thanks, Alvin |
Sounds to me like there are some wires not hooked up correctly/switched around. I dont have rear wipers so good luck. Hopefully someone can help you out.

Hmm I have a rear wiper so I may be able to help. I had some trouble with those darned contacts on the gas support cylinder, mine broke so i cable tied it and has been fine ever since.
My haynes manual has no reference to a rear wiper at all, so all I can suggest is to trace the wires, or run new ones... My rear wiper switch is in the centre console just next to the handbrake/electric window switches. |
Sounds like a switch burned out and someone switched the wires to the switch for the rear wiper. To much switching........

hey guys, so it sounds like i need to track down some wires. it's just weird because the front wiper switch seem to work find, so somehow the wires got crossed...
Thanks, Alvin |
well, I just fixed it, turned out just to be a blown fuse, though I have no idea why the front wipers would go on when the fuse for the rear wiper is blown, it's just weird...

Rear wiper
I just realized a good usage for the rear washer motor. Use it to inject a mist of water into the intake chamber under hard acceleration or run it into the intercooler
on turbo versions to cool down the intercooler. then you can use the rear wiper portion of the car to clean your windows like a squeege,lol. rx7doctor |

That's a damn good idea, doc! Yay, my car's gonna be Canadian, eh!

I'd have to agree that the rear wiper is completely useless. I have never really used it other than a mechanism to clean the rear window in the case that it was dirty ... when it rains water doesnt really collect on the hatch or obstruct vision..
