2000 Windstar-Rear Wiper!!!

[GrumpG]

Hey guys/gals,
My rear wiper used to work but quit!(in home position) I checked for power with a test light but nothing! Took the motor out and jumped it to the battery and it works!! I have read some other forums about replacing the 203 relay...i haven't replaced them new ones but interchanged them with the front wiper relay and nothing changed! I also checked forbroken wires in the hatch grommet area and nothing looks bad!! Any ideas?? Possibly a bad switch?? How can i test it???

Bad switch probably. My mom's van needed the switch changed twice before it worked properly.

Thanks BleedDodge,
I was also wondering if there was some way you could test the switch before replacing it with a new one??

Test light? I dunno. If there's power going to it and not getting past that's your sign.

The switches are garbage or something. The replacement switch lasted until about a week later when we tried to use that back wiper, then it wouldn't go again. Changed the switch again and it has since been good. Cheap switches I guess.
