Rear Windshield Wiper Troubles

[rkwhite]

Would appreciate any help and/or ideas - the rear windshield wiper in our 2003 Chevy Tahoe Z71 just quit working. We tried replacing the wiper motor but it still doesn't work. Checked the fuses - even checked the wiring in that hidden under the dash fuse block but everything looks good. Thanks for the help!

Use a test light or voltage meter. Check for power at the wiper motor.

on the drivers side of the dash is a fuse block check the 15 amp rear wiper fuse also make sure the rear liftgate is closed and glass is closed this will keep the wiper from not functioning.

We replaced the fuse although it appeared to look good and we checked for voltage at the switch as well as at the motor and all was good - we're stumped.

I had the same issue only on a 2000. I had a bad ground I ran another good known ground and it is working.

I had the same issues on my 04 and it ended up being a broken wire in the wiring harness at the top right when you open the hatch. Take that rubber boot off and it was the orange wire. I believe it is constant hot.

Had same problem on my 02, ran a ground from a wiper motor bold to a bold that holds the latch for the window and it and the defroster work again.
