If it is not a problem with the fuses then the window wiper motor may have given up. It should be very easy to find one from a scrap yard (cheap as well) and they are easy to replace as long as you have a couple of spanners.
Make sure you check that the fuses haven't blown first!
Hope this helps a bit, let me know if you need any further info.

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.
You may have a problem with the communication link from main module(electrics) to the wiper motor or the wiper motor could be a culprit. Also make sure that the wiper motor fuse is good. It needs to be scanned for code to make sure there is a communication link.
Hi,
Looks like the problem is in the wiper mechanism switch.
Located in the base of your wiper, wires are connected in that area, one contact point might have fused itself to return contact point. Check on that and let us know.
You could check also the rear wiper switch, the contact inside might have fused with "on" contact point.
Hope that stops that reckless wiper!
Thanks for using Fixya!
The motor is behind the glass inside the car. The wiring harness is behind the plastic panel and snakes to the right side of the car, going up towards the hinges and comes out to a rubber boot and into the right C pillar snaking it's way to the front. Up front, it snakes towards the wiper switch (right stalk) then towards the relay above the clutch area. The washer which both the front and the rear shares one reservoir inside the engine compartment.
the most common problem is you havn,t shut the tailgate properlly.you may have it on just the first latch in wich case the rear wiper wont work.give the tailgate a good slam to make sure its shut.
i had the same problem. After checking the window motor was not the problem i then checked the wiring harnes in the door. I beeped out all the connectors to make sure there were no broken wires and cleaned up all the contacts. The main connector looked quite corroded. I sprayed all the connectors with rust check and reassembled. The window is working fine now
Thank you nitches
I have tested the fuses and got a new relay but nothing helps.
I have taken out the motor and put it direct on 12V and it seems to work that way.
I belief that there might be a problem with the wiring.
Is there a way I can test the wiring?
Any advise?
Regards
Edmund
