    Default Rear-wiper nfg....

    Try as I might, I have been unable to get my rear wiper to do anything other than sit there. Same goes for the washer pump. Fuses are good, wires are good. Are there any pointers in troubleshooting these?

    Thanks

    Assuming thsi is touring? E34?

    There is a micro switch that disables the wiper (and most PROBABLY the sprayer) if the back window is not shut.

    Default There's also a modual

    buried behind the interior panel on the passenger rear fender.

    If the switch and all the wireing checks out, open up the panel and check the modual.


    Vee ave vays of dealing vid your kind...........
