Actually, a new rear wiper module/motor is probably needed. The logic controller is on the motor so the entire motor has to be replaced. I believe the switch is on the center console and I think you will need to remove the outer trim to get at the switch. It may be a switch that just snaps in, so I would get a look at a new one before digging into the job.
REMOVE THE NUT, AUTOZONE HAS A CHEAP PULLER TO REMOVE THE WIPER ARM, DOES THE SHAFT SPIN WHEN THE MOTOR IS OPERATIONAL? IF NOT REMOVE PANEL FROM THE TRUNK LID AND INSPECT THE LINKAGE WITH THE MOTOR ON,
Sounds like it's the earth wire issue. Try this:
1) Remove Driver Side Cowl(?) grill (top).
2) Connect a wire to buttom screw of wiper housing
3) Drill a hole on plastic wall to snake wire through (make sure wire is not loose for it might tagle while wipers are on)
4) Losen top left struts screw and insert other end of wire then tighten
5) Wala! Wipers work again!
