Default Does the rear wiper come on with front washer?

It's been a while since I've used it so need to know something; does the rear wiper come on normally with the front washer jets?

Only reason I ask is I tested the wiring today for the new fusebox build and SUCESS! Everything works, as it should...everything except the washer jets it seems.

When I press the button for the washers the rear wiper swipes. I'm sure this shouldn't happen? The rest of the wiper function is fine, intermittent, normal and fast on the front and self resets as it should, rear wiper works as it should, just with the little niggle.

Any ideas?

No afraid it doesn't, when you put the rear wiper on does that work fine on its own?

Yeah, the rear wipers got full, normal function from the switch. Even the circuit itself is a simple one so can't see where it can be wrong. I'm thinking it might be the actual stalk at fault...

the stalk, you need to push towards the front of the car to turn the rear washer jet on.

Yeah, I'm thinking stalk. The motor doesn't even buzz. I've tested the motor direct to 12v and it was fine.
