98 Explorer question

I mostly hang out in the 7.3 powerstroke section but I just bought a 98 explorer xlt with the 4.0L engine. Two quick questions, first is my rear wiper will work then wont come on for a couple of days, then it will work again for weeks. Any ideas on where to look, I will check the plug to the motor this weekend. Funny thing is the washer part works but the wiper wont move. Second, any info on what is a common problem with this year of suv to keep my eyes open for would be appreciated. Thanks for any info...

Ed
