Make sure the switch feels ok, if it feels loose it could be causing it to run at bumps.

Aslo a relat going bad can cause this.

Remove the rear wiper relay. The relay works just like a fuel pump relay or any other relay.
Here is example of your relay system and how to test it: Remove the relay and turn the ignition switch on and the rear wiper should not operate. If the motor works with the relay out then seek out a priest as the motor is haunted. To test the circuit do the following:
Bypass the relay with a piece of wire, (preferably fused). This means: Remove the relay and put the piece of wire in place of terminal 30 and 87 in the cavity where the relay lives. Even if you don't use a fuse all you are doing is giving the wiper motor the same voltage it would be getting if the relay was closed. All electrical diagnoses should come from the relay. It gives you the input and output for the accessory. The input is 12v hot on terminal 30. This usually this is constant hot wire from the main buss line on the fuse box. The 87 terminal goes to the fan itself so that the output of this terminal will be a grounded motor waiting for voltage. The 86 wire on this relay is normally fed through the fuse box via the appropriate fuse and gets voltage when the ignition is turned on. The 85 terminal on the relay is the field ground and energizes the relay. This wire comes from the switch. When the rear wiper switch is turned on it sends ground the relay terminal 85 which closes the points of the relay and allow power to travel from the 30 terminal to the 87 terminal. This gives power from the 30 terminal to the appliance at the other end of the 87 terminal. The grounded rear window motor receives this power, begins to spin and operate the wiper. By the way relays have a failure rate of about .015% so the problem probably isn't the relay itself.Joe

Our 2012 Ford Escape rear wiper motor and washer fluid stopped working .

Did you check fuse's & relays ?
Rear Window Wiper Operation
The rear wiper motor is controlled by the SJB. The SJB supplies power to the rear wiper motor from the integrated rear wiper relay. The SJB will activate the relay when all of the following conditions are met:
  • Ignition switch is in the ON position
  • Liftgate glass and liftgate are closed
  • Multi-function switch is in the ON or intermittent position
The SJB also supplies voltage to the rear wiper motor from SJB fuse 21 (15A) when the ignition switch is in the ON position. This power feed is used to continue the wipe cycle when the multi-function switch is turned to the OFF position. The SJB receives inputs from the multi-function switch that applies ground to the low speed wipe input or applies ground to the intermittent wipe input. When either of these circuits are grounded, the SJB activates the integrated rear wiper relay and power is supplied to the rear wiper motor to move the rear wiper motor from the park position. An internal switch in the rear wiper motor then moves to the run position which connects the accessory relay power to the rear wiper motor. When the rear wiper motor returns to the park position, the internal switch in the rear wiper motor moves back to the park position. If the multi-function switch is in the ON position, the rear wiper relay is still activated, power is supplied to the rear wiper motor, and the wipe cycle starts again. If the multi-function switch is in the intermittent position, the rear wiper relay does not activate until the predetermined dwell time has elapsed, at which time the SJB activates the rear wiper relay and the wipe cycle starts again. The SJB is the smart junction box .(computer )

Rear Washer System
The SJB supplies power to the rear washer pump from fuse 21 (15A) when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position. The rear washer pump receives ground from the multi-function switch when the wash function is turned ON. The multi-function switch also signals the SJB when the rear wash is activated and the SJB then activates the rear wiper.

How do I change rear wiper 2010 gmc terrain?

take your finger or small screw driver pry small flat shiny piece that has a small bend on it prey that back a little. What that piece does is it sits against the shaft keeps the wiper from coming off your just prying it out enough so you can pull the wiper off. Some times these wipers have been on a long time you have to tap the lightly to free them up not to hard easy. also look at your new wiper that you bought you will understand it better. Hope this helps

Is there a reset or some kind of safety on the rear wiper motor ,because when i first tried the wiper this a.m. it was frozen , and now when i try the rear wiper it does not respond

Every time a wiper motor faces resistance due to any thing it will surely blow the fuse or you migh need to tighten the bolt holding the wiper arm down cause it might have spun and come loose.
