Hi,

The first thing to check is the fuse in the central junction box. The rear wiper fuse is number 43. If you look at pic 1, I highlighted both the fuse and the rear wiper relay.

First, check the fuse. In addition to checking the fuse, confirm there is power to it. Here is a link you may find helpful:

If the fuse is good and has power, then we need to check the relay. If there is a different relay in the box with the same part number, switch them to see if it makes a difference. If there isn't one to switch, here is a link that explains how to test one:

Pic 2 below shows the location of the central junction box.

I hope this helps and what you find.

Take care,

Joe
