Rear wiper not working

Rear wiper doesn't work. If I turn it on, it doesn't move. I can squirt the washer fluid, but not wipe the glass. When I turn it on, the relay clicks. I had the motor replaced last year. It worked for a while then stopped. Any ideas? TIA.

2000 EB AWD 5.0

Most likely the rear wiper disable switch. Located right on the glass latch itself. You'll have to take the liftgate interior panel off to gain access.

You might want to check that motor out again I replaced mine with a reman from O'reilley's and it only lasted a couple of weeks. Luckily it had a lifetime warranty, got another one and replaced it again and it lasted about 1 year and had to replace it again. Next time I am going to have to bite the bullet and get one from the stealership, the original one lasted 5 years.

Wow, they don't make those motors they way they used to. Mine is still the original on my '94.

Before going to a lot of trouble, make sure its just not "hung up". Pull out on wiper so its not sitting in its holding bracket, turn key on or start vehicle, turn the control **** to constant on, go back and wiggle the wiper up and down a little. My 99 Explorer hangs up sometimes and a little wiggle gets it going again.
