If your 2006 Citi Golf's front and rear wipers, as well as the wash motors, are not working, there are a few possible causes that you can check:
Check the wiper motor: The wiper motor is responsible for moving the wipers. If the motor is not functioning properly, the wipers will not work. You can test the motor using a multimeter to see if it is getting power and check for any visible damage.
Check the wiper switch: The wiper switch is located on the steering column or the dashboard and is used to control the wipers. If the switch is not working properly, the wipers will not function. You can test the switch with a multimeter to see if it is sending power to the wiper motor.
Check the relay: The relay is an electronic component that controls the power to the wipers. If the relay is faulty, the wipers will not work. You can test the relay with a multimeter to see if it is functioning properly.
Check the wiring: Make sure all the wiring is connected properly, and check for any damage or loose connections.
Check the wash motor : check if the wash motor is getting power and if it is working properly.
If you're unable to locate the problem or if the problem persists, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the issue.
Hi K Man. My name is Tim Dorton.Dodge is full of engineers with slide rules and have a custom of hiding things. The rear wiper relay is soldered on the TIPM motherboard. Here is a picture. https://www.chryslerminivan.net/threads/rear-wiper-relay-location-2009-gc.172205/
Did you check the wiper relay's in the under hood fuse box ? There are two ,wiper run/park relay & wiper high low relay ! Also ,did you check fuse's ? fuse # 11 - 30amp location cental juction box . The wiper switch is a input to the GEM module . Generic electronic module . The module in most cases isn't the problem ! Learning how to test these electronic systems is , people do not know how to test so they just replace parts . What they should do is take the vehicle to ford certified Technician who has the knowledge and testing equipment to find an fix it .
The generic electronic module (GEM) receives inputs from the following:
multifunction switch
anti-lock brake control module (vehicle speed signal [VSS])
ignition switch
The GEM uses these inputs to control the outputs to the following:
windshield wiper high/low relay
windshield wiper run/park relay
windshield washer relay
rear wiper motor relay
rear window washer relay

Didn't see front wiper relay. Did see rear wiper relay, that relay is soldered to circuit board, you can't unplug it. Sometimes, it is possible to use external relay, if the relay is the problem?
What year ? The relay's are located in the under hood fuse box .
With the ignition in the ON position, accessory voltage is supplied through the 25A WPR fuse to the WIPER relay, the WIPER HI relay and the WSH relay that are all located in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Wiper/Washer Schematics. Which wipers are you talking about ? Front or rear . Rear wiper fuse is in the I/P instrument panel fuse box .
Fuse Block - I/P
Under the lower right side of the instrument panel
Hi Heather, The link below shows a rear wiper down relay and a rear wiper up relay as well as a rear wiper fuse which I marked with a black dot , I hope this helps..... CHEERS..
check relay. should be located in engine compartment. review your owners manual for exact location of relay. interchange another relay of same into rear wiper motor . that should tell you very quickly if its a relay or electrical problem................real simple job
The rear wiper is on "off" position when you pull the "stick". The relays are under the steering wheel. if you bend yourself down to the pedals, look up, ant there is a litle door, fixed with some nuts. remove them, pull the plastic just to look inside, and you'll see the relays. the relay that control the wiper system is the bigger one. is one relay for front and back. You could open it and you'll see two electromagnets which controls some contacts. you could try clean them with a soft and clean cloth(tissue). Also check the fuses. The fuses are located on the side panel trim from the driver's door. The fuses for front and back wiper sistem are separated. On the back of the panel from the fuses you'll see a diagram with what each fuse does.Good luck.
Sorry I cant offer any soloution but I do have the Same Problem :( I know its a long time ago but did you find the answer to fix the problem? Would love to Know :)
