    Default Touring: Rear wiper failure

    I can hear the relay click when I push in the lever, but nothing happens. No sprayer, no movement, no nothing. And I can freely move the arm across the window. Where should I begin looking for problems or breaks in the harness?

    Problem should be in the harness. Open up the rear glass, remove the 3 screws holding plastic covers on each side, remove all the other plastic coverings and start pulling wires and watch as they come apart like butter. If that doesn't fix the problem, then you should look at the motor.

    Problem solved! Was a break in the harness and the pin to seat into the motor wasn't extending like it should.
