Rear wiper and rear defrost don't work - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe

The only thing they have in common is the ignition switch.

some thing not grounded proplery

rear wiper check list check fuse or relays or wiring last check the motor its self
window defrost check list fuse relays also check along the matrix of the window this is the liney bits that go from one end to the other for breakes in it check to make sure that the wires and connectors are still atached and still solderd to window this is a common place for them to fail hope this helps ivan

rear defrost will not work with the following reasons one the fuse could be burnt, 2 the wire going to the rear defrost could be broken, 3 there is a break in one of the lines on the rear window, 4 where the connector is to the rear defrost it could have either broke at the window or the solder let go

You Have one fuse for the wipers in the car. Left side of steering wheel and the back cover should list the fuses and location. The other box is located in the engine compartment above the battery. They should list the fuse locations under the compartment covering the fuses. Hope that helps

I just had the same problem. I have an '04 4Runner and my rear wiper, fluid wash, and defrost stopped working after it was recently serviced. If you had the battery cables disconnected recently here is the solution...Start the engine and lower the rear tailgate window all the way... close the rear window and then turn the engine off. Restart the engine and the wiper,wash, and defrost. should work again. It has something to do with the computer which needs to be rebooted. Good luck.

sounds like a blown fuse. looke and the fuses under the drivers side dash by your left knee. there are also fuses under the hood.
www.3si.org and www.stealth316.org are two very helpful sites for the 3000gt.

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......
