Rear window wiper not working

Featured Replies

Rear window wiper not moving if you open boot and keep ure hand on it the wiper moves.will spray water but no movement on wiper could it be a fuse or wiper motor or could the boot lock be to blame.

Quite probably a wire gone in the loom to the tailgate.  It's a fairly common issue, I had mine repaired in the Autumn - cost about £30 for the labour at my local friendly independent!

No, my only problem was the non functioning wiper.  I think that some of the wires in the loom might be a bit shorter than they really need to be, that seems to be the suggestion.

Strange thing is if you dont have lights on boot stays closed put on front lights and boot opens.

Possibly the feed to one of the rear lights is contacting the boot release relay feed and triggering it?
