How does one disconnect the rear wiper motor 03 expy? (battery dead)

[tommy k]

Hi there,
I posted this note in the "door ajar" thread too, (my apologies for doubling up).
I read that someone suspects that a faulty or "misbehaving" rear wiper motor killed a battery.
Oddly enough, my battery on my 03 expy was dead yesterday morning. Put a charger on it and it was kaput, would not take a charge. So I put a new battery in, and read the aforementioned thread.... whereupon i noticed that my rear wiper was not in the proper resting place. weird. So, untill i can figure it out, How did you disconnect the rear wiper motor? (the fuse runs the front wiper moter and instrument cluster, so that is not an option, right?)
Best regards,

Hi. Sounds like logical thinking. Has the new batt. gone dead? Do you have a way to check for batt. current draw with everything off? I would think that the rear wiper motor not parking correctly would drain the batt. pretty fast like overnight. I could be wrong though. Your old batt. may have just reached it's limit.
