Brakes issues even after I fixed it at the Toyota dealership. Rear windshield wiper, rear windshield heating and electrical issues- doesn't work (I have fixed it twice already since 2005), battery died less than 6 months after purchase, car becomes unstable after 65 miles/ hr and unstable when brakes are applied anywhere over 50 miles/ hr, low pressure lights stay on, all the "bad lights" come on for no reason, top rubber lining (not sure what's called) came off. It's endless problems after another. I bought my car brand new, and have always serviced it took it to the toyota dealership but the problems keep growing. Is it just me or is someone else having issues? Stella o

"If the windshield wiper fluid of your Chevy Equinox ends up on the rear window instead of the windshield, there could be several possible causes:

Damaged or incorrectly connected windshield wiper fluid tube: The tube that carries the windshield wiper fluid from the reservoir to the base of the front windshield wiper may be damaged or not connected properly, causing the fluid to leak elsewhere.

Clogged windshield wiper fluid outlet: The outlet of the windshield wiper fluid on the base of the front windshield wiper may be clogged with dirt or debris, causing the fluid to flow onto another part of the car, such as the rear window.

Windshield wiper system issues: There may be a problem with the windshield wiper system of your Chevy Equinox that causes the fluid to leak onto other parts of the car instead of the windshield."

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 ?

Replacing parts just to replace them wont fix a bad wire or part. Better to use a voltmeter and ohn meter to check if your getting power to the wires. You may have a bad connection or bad switch on the column for the pumps. Without checking the circuits it will behard to tell what it is thats wrong. Find a wiring diagram and trace the wires and components.

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

Hi Cooper, I'm Glad to help!

If you have an issue only when you turn on the rear wipers then here's what you need to do? If I were in your shoes, I'd pull the liftgate panel off and see if the bolts that hold the wiper motor is loose, if they are tighten them and see if the noise is gone. Also, see if the noise is gone with the panel removed. If the system will let you, maybe you can turn the wipers on with the panel off and see where the noise is coming from. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Cooper.

on the wiper arm, there is a cap. remove cap and there is a nut underneath, remove nut spray wd40 oil on the threads that are exposed, then slowly wiggle arm and pull simultaneously to remove.

Front are standard clipon 26 inch and 20 inch. rear needs to be replaced by dealer.

o yeah take back to dealership where they will fix it for free

yes right at the wiper motor.

remove the cover cap that is by the base of the wiper arm. you can do this by just pulling off with your fingers. The wiper arm is attached with a 10mm nut. remove th nut and the wiper arm will slip off. When re-assembling, be certain to wipe all parts with a long lasting lubricant, like WD40.
