99 Explorer XLT, rear wiper dont move

[mavrick1903]

Was working fine a week or two ago. tried it one day, did not work. tried it the next, and it does, now it's out and not comming back it seems. I ride my Harley when ever I can, which is why it's taking longer to realize the problem.

I have not checked anything yet, just been too busy. looking for suggestions on where to look for the problem. I've got a Haynes manual for it. I plan on checking the fuse first, not sure where after that. front wipers are fine. I can here the fluid pump when I press that button (for the rear) but the wiper arm does not move.

any suggestions would be helpful.

I think you will find more results under a specific forum for your year (ie. stock x..- x..). Anyways, I do believe your problem lies with the motor itself. If you search, I think you will find a number of threads around the rear wiper motor problems. Of course, it could also be a relay. Ultimately you need to get at the rear door panel and see if voltage (and grounds) are showing up at the motor when you "ask it" to do something.
