Rear Wiper Motor??

[lacrozguy15]

I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler with the hard top currently installed(since sometime in September). A few days ago the rear wiper just stopped working. The rear defroster and the washer fluid still work. Does anyone know what's wrong? I think I may need a new rear wiper motor but why would it just stop working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd check for any corrosion on the connections - there is one near the left rear wheel housing where the wires come back for the hardtop - and also at the motor itself. Check to see if the motor has any rust/corrosion around it.

You may simply need a new motor. It happens sometimes.
