You probably just need the relay in the switch replaced. Let me guess, you have only low speed. No high or intermittent.

I don't know how to replace the relay, Others here might point you to a helpful web site. I've seen used switches go for up to $75.00.

EDIT: Opps..., I see now you're talking about the rear wiper switch. I have no idea. I'll leave the other info up there above though.

If you have a tilt steering wheel it only takes about 5 minutes to get the switch out. Speaking of which...I do need a wiper switch for a GXL with the rear wiper...Aaron Cake, do you have a lead on one?

Even if it's the rear wiper, he might still just need the relay. Even so, if you can get a working one from a junkyard for $5, I'd go that route. Just curious, do your front wipers work?
