Rear wiper problem

The rear wiper on my 2000 Villager died in the 4 o'clock position and won't move. No response when I turn it on. Probably the motor??

Thanks in advance for your help.

Test the switch and the motor independtly.

The villager is notorious for the rear wiper motor going bad. I have replaced two in 6 1/2 years. Get a quote from the Nissan dealer, it is usually cheaper than the Mercury dealer. Very simple to replace. Just take off the skin on the hatch and it is right there.

4 years ago my rear wiper failed also. I took it apart an tried to clean the contacts that tell the motor what position the wiper is in. It worked for a few days and then failed again. If I remember right the dealer wanted $170 for a new one. I have lived without it.
