    most cases it is the switch, but u will need to test the output of the switch at the wiper motor to see if a signal is being sent, both parts are fairly expensive so if u are not sure have it checked by the dealer.

A broken wiper motor transmission is very common. It has plastic pieces that will break and is located under the black plastic cowel at the bottom of the windshield. You will need to order it from the Ford dealer.

2005 Tahoe rear windshield wiper inoperative in dash panel position 1or2

Rear Wiper/Washer System Components
The rear wiper/washer system consists of the following components:
• Rear wiper/washer switch
• Window wiper module-rear
• Window washer pump-rear
• RR WIPER 15A fuse
• RR WPRB 25A fuse
Rear Wiper/Washer System Operation
The rear wiper module controls rear wiper motor operation. Battery voltage supplied to the module is used to operate the wiper motor in all modes and to return the rear wiper arm to the park position after the ignition is turned off. Accessory voltage supplied to the rear wiper/washer switch is used to supply the rear window wiper and washer switch signal circuits. In wiper switch positions 1 and 2 the wiper switch signal circuit voltage level to the wiper motor module determines the wiper motor delay interval. The rear window washer pump supply voltage circuit is used to provide the operating voltage for the rear washer pump for as long as the rear washer switch is pressed. The rear window washer switch signal circuit is used as a wash signal to the rear wiper motor module to operate the wipers during the rear wash operation.


Did you replace the rear wiper module ?

2006 Malibu maxx front or back washer pumps will not work. pulled both pumps out and made sure both work. I have pulled all fuses, relays out replace them all. Both pumps work off Separate switches.

Replacing parts just to replace them wont fix a bad wire or part. Better to use a voltmeter and ohn meter to check if your getting power to the wires. You may have a bad connection or bad switch on the column for the pumps. Without checking the circuits it will behard to tell what it is thats wrong. Find a wiring diagram and trace the wires and components.

2004 ford taurus wagon rear wiper will not work, but wiper fluid does

Your wiper and wiper fluid motors are different operation. The fluid one is a pump and the wiper motor only operates the wipers. Should check and see if you are getting power to the wiper motor if you are and the wiper does not work then you may need a new wiper motor.

Windshield wipers just stopped working this morning. Fluid does spray, but wipers don't wipe. I checked the fuse under the steering wheel and under the hood. What could be the problem.

probably a fuse is there anything else not working? fuse guide is in your owners manual and is a cheap do it yourself fix however it could be your wiper motor or a wire leading too.

2005 Taurus. Winshield washer not working.

This may be multi-function switch failure. The multi-function is the turn signal/wiper/headlight switch. It may need to be replaced. Is this the type of switch you have. Hope this helps. If it is not the switch then the pump may be bad or have a bad wire connection.
GOOD LUCK
