Rear Wiper Issue
 
The rear wiper on the X no longer works. I checked that it's not the common loose nut issue. The Windshield water sprays on the back so, i don't think it's the burn chip issue (I think the burnt chip on the rear wiper motor cause the water to spray continously) Front wipers works fine. I have unplugged and plugged the rear wiper and still no luck... anything else you guys think i should try?

Checked for a fuse?

I only found a wiper fuse, which seems like it is for the front or both front and rear wiper motor share the same. I'm not sure...

Pull it out and look at it. Put it back in. You never know.

How old is your battery??? :bustingup That could be causing all your problems. lol

In all seriousness, check the fuse. If the fuse is good, open the panel to the wiper motor and check the motor for continuity.

I was talking about the fuse.

Ahahha. And I just saw an episode where he finds out about Internet porn, and develops a jacked up arm. Lol.

hahaha thanks for the entertainment/input... I did take the fuse out and put it back in and still no luck. I will check the panel for continuity this weekend. Will let you know if i discover anything..

Have you tried applying voltage right to the motor?

nebilex 07-21-2012 10:41 AM

Slick, I have not tried applying voltage directly, yet... How much voltage do I apply? 24v straight from the battery?

I would start with whatever comes from the fuse.

SlickGT1 07-21-2012 11:03 AM

Wait, theck that you get power at the plug for the wiper motor.

nebilex 07-22-2012 12:24 AM

Went through all troubleshooting and finally narrowed it down to the magnetic coil, there was a broken connection.... Soldered that up and it now functioning again.

SlickGT1 07-22-2012 12:48 AM

What in the motor of the wiper? Nice. Pics?
