The windshield washer and the rear window washer are activated by the internal wiper motor modules when it receives a ground from the multi-function switch between the washer inputs. Depending on the correct ground, the internal wiper motor modules activate either the windshield washer or rear window washer relays (internal) by grounding the respective relay coil. When either module is activated, it connects voltage to the washer pump while the deactivated module provides ground to the washer pump. In this manner, voltage polarity is reversible to achieve directional change of the washer pump and washer fluid.

Just from reading this I would think the washer pump is bad . But find the washer fluid bottle an pull it off the vehicle or find the wiring connector to the pump an hook up a test light or volt meter an check for b + volt while activating the washers .If there is B+ voltage the pump is bad .

Testimonial: "Ok.. thanks"

2008 Q7 rear wiper stoped working and can’t find the fuse for it can anyone help pls

does it sprays water with pressure?



A common problem on Q7 is that the water channel that passes through the inside shell of the motor has leaks and damages the wiper motor !

Check if the water comes out with pressure!

2005 ford expedition rear wiper

Sounds like a problem within the wiper motor not turning off at rest or not reaching it's rest point to be able to turn itself off, probably needs a new motor. Disconnecting it should have no relation to the front washer operation, you can confirm this by reconnecting the wiper motor to try.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/oscar_403cc49e0f00cda7

Rear wiper does not work at all. front wipers work fine. rear washer works

1. check the fuse to the rear wiper motor
2. check for power to rear wiper motor at the motor (power wire going in to the wiper motor with rear wiper switch on)
If you have good fuses & have power going in to the rear wiper motor...
3. Pull old rear wiper motor and install a new rear wiper motor.
Thank you please drive thru......
