Check the cause
Mechanical Binding: Check if the wiper arm or blade is physically stuck, frozen, or binding on the glass.
Electrical Testing: Test the rear wiper motor (M004) in the same manner as the front wiper motor (M002) to verify if the motor itself has failed.
Wiring & Connectors: Inspect the separation point connector (X258) located behind the roof lining on the upper right of the rear window. Check for loose pins, moisture, or corrosion.
Switch Check: Verify the integrity of the rear wiper motor switch (X273) inside the cab.
