    Coupe rear wiper doesn't work...

    Does anyone know any common causes for the rear wiper not working? The washer works, and all the front functions work properly. Fuses appear okay, also. Motor? Wires?
    Thanks for any insights. BTW, I have yet to pick up the Bentley manual, but that'll be coming soon.

    I have no idea, but if you end up needing a new one, just send me a PM. I'm never going to use mine again.
    I have oil in my blood; that is my dedication level to cars.

    I'd be looking for a broken wire (ground or power) where they flex when you lift the hatch.

    Same potential for trouble is getting more common in the Rdstrs as they age.

    Coupes...
    I say just pull it off and go on down the road. Looks better without.

    I've thought about just yanking it off, and still might. Since we had our first 'rain' (light stupid drizzle), I noticed just how dirty the back of this car gets. The rear wiper, therefore, may actually be useful on this car!
    Time to get out the test light!
