My rear wiper is not working either. However, I am certain it is related to the switch as I replaced it a while back. My MFA works fine, but neither my front or rear washers work, and only the front wipers work.
I know basically the connections and I have everything hooked up, but how do I test? I don't want to have to get a new one as they are over $100 at the stealer. HELP!! Also, I used some liquid welding stuff when my driver's side wiper stripped. Somewhat redneck and permanent, but it holds and the cover makes it so you can't see it.

I guess its one of those things that you don't notice until its broke. Anyway, I narrowed it down a little bit: - The washer still pumps fluid out the back when the stalk is pushed back. I am nearly positive that my wiper switch is okay judging by this. - I measured the voltage coming off of the two hot wires at the motor. Both were around 2 volts when the switch was turned on. - The intermitent relay. I have a good reason to believe this is my problem. Anyone else have a similar problem with their rear wiper? Did it end up being the relay? FYI- This weekend my passenger side wiper arm began to strip on the splines. Of course this happens only when its raining, and you are not close to home. Here's a quick fix: Take a piece of napkin (tissue is too thin), and wet it slightly. Then take the small piece (half inch by half inch or so) and put it on the spline. Put the arm back on, over the piece of napkin. If you tighten the arm back down in the proper position, it should be fine and will hold quite tight.
