Couple of days ago went to turn rear wiper on and there was nothing.Its a S2 ERST.Any ideas what i should look for.Many Thanks.

 

Take off the black panel on the inside of the tailgate to reveal the motor and wiring.

If your anygood with a tester make sure your getting a voltage to the motor when the wiper switch is turned on.

If its live but the motor isnt working the motors dead.

I've got a spare if you need one!

If there is no voltage check fuses (probably better to do this first before anything else!) and also check for a break in the wiring where the wires go through the tailgate into the body of the car - these are notorious for breaking up over time from the boot being open and closed over the years.

 

Thanks for your help i will go and do a couple of checks and let you know how i get on cheers.

 

is where my money is on

 

took the black box off and the motor is fine,fiddled around with the wires,shut the tailgate and it was working fine.Then put the black box back on tried again and nothing.Think there must be a loose connection.Got a day off work tomorrow so will have another go again.Cheers for your help.

 

My moneys on a break in the wire between the tailgate and the body of the car.

Easy way to test, switch on the rear wiper, and wiggle the wire about in that area to see if it stops.

Then you've got the lovely task of repairing the break in the wire.
