Hello! Since there isn't any power relationship between the Power Windows and Wipers, I suspect a fault in the vehicle's grounding...The car has some years on it and this type of grounding problem is quite common...If you have a multimeter and a wee bit of experience using it, here is a test procedure to eliminate grounding as the cause...
Set the meter on the X10 ohm scale...Place one probe on the top center of the Negative Battery Terminal and the other probe on Bare Metal of the chassis (fender bolt is a good location)...You must read close to zero ohms...Leaving the probe on the negative battery terminal, move the other probe to Bare Metal on the engine block...Again reading must be close to zero ohms...If you read 500- 2500 ohms Ground Straps need to be installed from the negative battery terminal to the chassis and from there to the engine block...Guru..............Saailer

Rear wiper Ford Explorer 1998 won't work. Replaced motor and then found there was no power to connector at wiper motor. Fuses good both on fuse panel and power distribution box. Washer on wiper arm works.

Look for the fuse for the rear wiper motor is a 15 amp mini-fuse , in location # 8 of your POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX in the engine compartment. Check in the PD BOX for; - relay # 8 is the rear wiper down relay , and - relay # 10 is the rear wiper up relay .
