rear wiper doesn't work...

[JT///M3]

I checked all the fuses and even took off the rear cover to inspect and everything is plugged in as it should. It even squirts out fluid but it won't wipe...weird. Anyone have an idea?

Try to use a multi-meter to see if it is getting juice. If it is getting power, it may be the motor failed.

The car is telling you to delete the rear wiper.

[JT///M3]

Oh yeah, duh!!! Will do. I'll report back what I find tonight. Thanks for the tip!

Hahhaha, as infrequent as i drive in the rain,
Those times I do get caught, there is literally zero visibilty out the back once you get up to 75-80mph. It just becomes misted by water kicked up by rear 275s. I can't watch for cops at that point hahahhaah. Plus I like the look of the wiper.

If you open the sunroof while you're on the freeway and it's raining, it'll keep the water off the back window. Sounds crazy but it works!

Do you need a poncho for that method? LoL. I personally like the rear wiper and antenna. It's part of the character.

[bimmerbri2]

Let me know if you need a motor...I did the wiper delete.

Haha no...water doesn't come into the cabin at all actually. Give it a try next time even if you have a wiper and you'll see.

I personally removed mine a couple of years ago and couldn't be happier. I've driven in rain quite a few times and haven't needed it using the "sunroof" method

check the wiring in the upper left side rubber loom, broken wires will cause all kind of issue for your wiper, license plate lights, lock... you name it...

The only other weird issue I have with the rear is that the hatch light doesn't come on when the hatch opens like it used to. Now its either off or on by switch only.

I have a rear wiper assembly for sale with motor

[Z3speed4me]

Just take it off..... that's what I did

[JT///M3]

I will let you know shortly if I will need that assembly. How much you want for it?

[BenH]

I like the look of rear wiper too

I have it posted for 150 shipped, comes with wiper arm and motor

[JT///M3]

I still haven't gotten around to testing it yet...

Hatch sensor must be stuck or broken.

Never would have tought of that... Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try.
How did you figure this out? By fluke, someone told you about it or you studied air flow mechanics??? lol.

It would be nice to hear from the guys with larger A.C. Shnitzer style roof spoiler, if they get the same effect...

[adonnan]

Mine quit working for a long time, then began to work again. It just quit again yesterday. That's what I get for opening my hatch.

I studied air flow mechanics lol. I actually opened it up because it was getting foggy inside and I didn't want to turn on the AC since it was kind of cool outside.

Well, as they say... Most great inventions in this world were dicovered by accident. LOL
