Hello, I have a V reg, Zetec estate. The rear wiper is not functioning but I can hear what appears to be the relay clicking on and off. Oddly, this appears to be happening when the wiper is in the normal and off position! The rear wash works but it is not accompanied by a wipe. Anyone else experienced this? How do you repair it?
Cheers
Peter.
Blown fuse for rear wiper motor.
I've now checked this and it is OK. Fuse no 43 (15A) in the central fuse box. I have taken the trim of the inside of the boot and the solenoid is making a 'tink' sort of noise. It's quite warm so I've disconnected the power to it.
Cheers
Peter.

Hello, I've taken the rear wiper unit off to have a look. There are 3 connections. An earth connected to the metalwork of the boot and the connector. There is a blue/green wire and a white/red. Does anyone know why there are 3 wires? I was only expecting 2! The spindle which moves the wiper blade does twitch but it does not move. Is it likely that it has just seized up? Is this a renewal job or can it be repaired?
Cheers
Peter.
