Rear wiper not working??

[wild_foamy]

Hi peeps,
Been tinkering with my saxo today, the rear wiper isnt working at all, the front wipers work as they should but none of the washers work either.

Now the washer pump itself had a seized impeller and the motor had just chewed up the plastic inside it so i ended up buying a new pump unit, but what could be causing the rear wiper to not work? what fuses should i be looking at or is there a known weak link/relay somewhere?

atb peeps

When you say you've been thikng with your saxo, was it working before if so go over what ever it was that you jave been doing if not then the same as above! Run a live feed to the motor an hit the heart of the problem an work back if it is working! Good luck as electrics are my worst enemy 😬

I'd just remove it altogether!

So what's your plan then?

Well i bought the car off a friend of mine as spares or repair (water pump and HG failure) and im not sure it was working then, im going to try running the live feed to it and work backwards from there but if it turns out to need a new stalk i will just take it out and fit a blank.

okay peeps, its been a while... the car is now in daily use (removed the rear wiper for the time being), i salvaged a rear wiper from an earlier pre-facelift saxo but it has a square 3-pin plug instead of the straight 3-pin plug on my car :(

gonna need some headscratching...

Just leave it lol. Is it really that important?
