rear windshield wiper ?

Ever since i've had my car I never had a working rear windshield wiper. What would be making it not work? Bad motor on it? what? Symptoms..nothing, when I turn the switch for it, nothing happens, not even a noise at all. If i need a new motor for it, where would I get one?

thanks,
Marshall

I have the same problem. I swapped many switches to no avail. Everytime I shut It off, I hear a faint click. I powered the Wiper Motor directly to a Battery and It works. Bad connection In b'n the Wiper Motor and Switch I guess.

I'd guess the switch is bad. Try hooking power up to it like silverrotor said.

See my post about your broken power antanae...

"If it's broken, why fix/replace it when you can just remove it! It's not helping your car go any faster being there!!!"

Look at the rear wiper D-05 plug. See if 12v exists on the LgY wire. If so then put a temp ground on the Br wire. If the motor moves, then the problem is in the rear wiper relay in the switch. Do the above with the key to ON.
