I have dug thorough the forums and read every post I can find about the rear wipers and still have not solved my issue...
Our LR3 is my wife's daily driver. I got in it a few weeks ago and noticed the rear wiper wasn't working. She said its been like that for a little while.... No errors, codes or anything visibly wrong. Rear spray still works fine. Front wipers work fine and in all functions. I drove around for a bit with the rear wiper lever in the "on" positions and just once it completed a slow, staggering wipe. It started and landed back in the right spot, so I think failing relay or motor. Relays all test OK, and even swapped some around (that also tested OK) and still no progress. I watch Ebay for a bit and score a factory new rear wiper motor in the box for a good price. Swap it out a few days later and no improvement. I have checked all the fuses, fuseable links and relays and all test good. I have a good ground and 12V+ at the motor but can't get a reading from the last wire, which i think is the sensor for where they wiper is on its sweep. I am at a loss and think that it might be another sensor somewhere that is malfuctioning (rear hatch?) although I dont get any messages that lead me further. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
