Where is my switch for my rear window wiper on my 1006 subaru

Sounds like you might have a bad multifunction switch. You can test the outputs of the switch to confirm.

Rear Wiper/Washer System Components
The rear wiper/washer system consists of the following components:
• Rear wiper/washer switch
• Window wiper module-rear
• Window washer pump-rear
• RR WIPER 15A fuse
• RR WPRB 25A fuse
Rear Wiper/Washer System Operation
The rear wiper module controls rear wiper motor operation. Battery voltage supplied to the module is used to operate the wiper motor in all modes and to return the rear wiper arm to the park position after the ignition is turned off. Accessory voltage supplied to the rear wiper/washer switch is used to supply the rear window wiper and washer switch signal circuits. In wiper switch positions 1 and 2 the wiper switch signal circuit voltage level to the wiper motor module determines the wiper motor delay interval. The rear window washer pump supply voltage circuit is used to provide the operating voltage for the rear washer pump for as long as the rear washer switch is pressed. The rear window washer switch signal circuit is used as a wash signal to the rear wiper motor module to operate the wipers during the rear wash operation.


Did you replace the rear wiper module ?

Sounds like a wiring problem:
1. One of the wires attached to a pin in the connector attached to the wiring at the motor (not on the motor) may be corroded or have come loose, making intermittent contact, or
2. One of the wires in the harness between the motor and the switch is crimped somewhere around the tailgate and is intermittently opening, or
3. A bad motor ground wire connection at the tailgate.

Did you check the fuse ? Do you hear the wiper motor running ? If the fuse is good you would need to test the electrical circuit for the wiper motor ,viewing a wiring diagram an then use a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter to test
What body type is it ? Vin 6 or 3 could have a circuit breaker for power supply or fuse ,both are located in the rear fuse block .

Rear Wiper/Washer System Components
The rear wiper/washer system consists of the following components:
• Rear window wiper motor
• Rear window washer fluid pump
• Rear wash relay
• Rear window wiper/washer switch
• RR wiper 15A circuit breaker
• WASH 20A fuse
Rear Wiper/Washer System Controls
• Body control module (BCM)
• Liftgate control module (LGM)
• Rear wiper/washer switch

Here is how it is controlled

Rear Wiper/Washer System Operation
The rear window wiper/washer switch is an input to the BCM. The requested rear wiper mode is sent to the liftgate control module (LGM) by the BCM as a message on the serial data circuit, and the rear window wiper motor is controlled by the LGM. The switch power circuit to the rear wiper/washer switch is a 12-volt reference supplied by the BCM during ignition on, accessory or RAP power modes. The rear wiper/washer switch is a series of resistors and the switch position is determined by the voltage of the rear wiper/washer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The rear wiper/washer switch has continuity at all times and the BCM expects a rear wiper/washer switch signal voltage in all switch positions including OFF. The rear wiper motor is supplied battery positive voltage and ground. The LGM controls rear wiper motor operation through the rear wiper motor control circuit. The rear wiper motor control circuit is supplied a battery positive reference voltage by the rear wiper motor module and is pulse width modulated to ground by the LGM. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulation determines the rear wiper motor operating mode. The liftglass and liftgate ajar switches are inputs to the LGM and must be in an inactive state in order for rear wiper washer system operation to be enabled. When an ajar switch is active the LGM suspends wiper motor operation directly and sends the ajar switch status messages over the serial data circuit enabling the BCM to suspend washer pump operation. The rear window washer pump is controlled by the BCM through the rear washer relay. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the coil and switch sides of the rear washer relay. When the rear window wash request is active the BCM energizes the relay by grounding the relay coil through the rear washer relay control circuit. When the relay is energized battery positive voltage to the relay switch is supplied to the washer pump control circuit.

Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check for codes in the BCM or LGM

DTC B1017 or B3970

The rear wiper motor is supplied battery positive voltage and ground. The liftgate control module controls rear wiper motor operation through the rear wiper motor control circuit. The rear wiper motor control circuit is supplied a battery positive reference voltage by the rear wiper motor module and is pulse width modulated to ground by the liftgate control module. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulation determines the rear wiper motor operating mode.

guessing sucks, no? very expensive..!!! what year CAR?
ever heard of a $20 DMM that all have a voltmeter?
yes, use a volt meter.
if you had , you would have found that there was no
power to the motor, when activated.
the motors on all wipers are self sustaning of zero point.
that means that it self powers up inside with its one power switch.
so some need power on 2 pins, RTM read the FSM its there .
ever wonder why wipers keep going when turn off, that is it returns for FREE. bingo on self power I(no this is not free energy , lol)

there are only 2 pissible.
1: no power.
2:its jammed, same is true for all Elect motors, be it wiper , windows, fans, sure anything.

rear windows are pretty much not jammable but ive
never look inside the rear rear door of the not stated year, Subaru.
but if you look and see arms in there, bingo. they are jammed
one way to do this , done many a time.
is to release just the motor arm and then cycle the mechanism
by hand, oops , jammed.

no power, or jammed.

Sounds like a bad ground to me.

I've done a few of these.The shaft that the wiper arm bolts to gets corroded inside, causing the motor to work slowly then quit.Have an assistant turn the key on and move the switch from on to off while you listen at the tail gate for a faint clicking..this tells you the wires and switch are likely OK. If you bring it to a shop have them double check power & ground before they replace the motor, just to be sure.A used motor may have the same issue...get new or remanufactured

remove the cover at the bootom of wiper arm,there you will see a nut that holds the arm, remove that nut. grab arm and wigle and pull up on it until it comes off, then install new arm in the same position.

my 2004 expedition had same problem, if you take apart the shaft that goes thru the glass it will be full of dirt, clean ,lubricate and reinstall, you may have to replace the O-ring on the shaft. a 20 minute job, very easy fix
