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.

SOURCE: Buick Enclave Rear Seats

Yes? The thing about the Enclave/Acadia/Outlook triplets is that they are all great, but that second row is very uncomfortable. My friend was going to get the Enclave (amazing interior), but went with the Mazda CX-9 instead.

SOURCE: Rear wiper constantly regardless of switch position

If the switch itself feels just the same as it always has then the most likely fault is that the rear wiper motor located behind the panel in the tailgate has suffered a failure of the self-parking mechanism: it's what ensures that after you turn the wiper off, the motor keeps running until the wiper is back in the parked position.

There are two major parts to the way it works: a self parking switch which works off a cam located in the wiper motor, and a back-emf brake which overcomes the inertia of the mechanism.

The simplest fix will be to just replace the motor assembly. You can get one from a scrapyard, but won't know whether it's about to fail for the same wear-related reasons. Alternatively fit a new or remanufactured unit. You'll also find that a good automotive electrician can usually fix the original motor, but as it's nearly ten years old there may be other wear-related issues waiting to bite you on the bottom so I'd personally go for a remanufactured unit from a trustworthy supplier. Such units normally come with a minimum one year warranty. Anything with just a 30 or 90 day warranty has likely just been taken from a scrapped vehicle, cleaned and given a shiny coat of paint...

Read the owner manual. Note that 2008 & 2009 manuals have incorrect information. Locate 2010 Enclave on internet. It has correct description and bulb number. Bulb is a 7443, NOT a 3157.

2014 Buick Enclave not starting or turning over. The battery is new, and I checked relays.

Did this happen straight after you changed the battery? Did you maintain power during the swap over? Did you reset the anti-theft, immobilizer system?

Buick enclave front wipers work only on high speed.

What year ? The relay's are located in the under hood fuse box .
With the ignition in the ON position, accessory voltage is supplied through the 25A WPR fuse to the WIPER relay, the WIPER HI relay and the WSH relay that are all located in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Wiper/Washer Schematics. Which wipers are you talking about ? Front or rear . Rear wiper fuse is in the I/P instrument panel fuse box .
Fuse Block - I/P
Under the lower right side of the instrument panel
