dang, i bought this car about a month ago, and i realized when it started pouring that i needed to turn on my rear windshield wiper, well the damn thing doesnt work, i checked all the fuses (i think) but im sure they are all good, any other ideas? and alone with those ideas can ya give me prices? for old or new. thanks alot!
 
Besides that, who cares? You don't NEED that damn thing anyway, I swear it's there to add to the sticker price ;)
Guess what? I have never ever changed the wiper blade on the rear and I am the original owner :eeek: Know why?? Cause I never use it!! Well, except to clear snow a couple times a year but other than that, nope. Besides, if it's raining that hard you should be concentrating on looking where your going not where you've been.
 
I'll take some cash for my advice, if you so wish:D

Check the wiring at the top of the hatch. My 240 cut the wiring at the hatch top, just from being opened and closed over time. If this is the case, you just need to make the wires reconnect.

The wiper motor in the back is most likely disconnected. When my rear motor went bad(few days ago). It would constantly blow the fuse for both wipers. The plug is probably just not connected. Pull the panelling off under the spoiler and look. Will take all of 15 minutes.
