As some of you may know, I've got an 06 Escape. My rear wiper does not work - and I'm finally getting around to working on it. I've found that going to the wiper there is the 3 wire harness. I'm getting 12 volts there across the ground and center wire (brown I think), and I assume there is supposed to be a signal in the third wire. I don't know if I need an analog meter to see this signal (my digital meter might be too slow) or if I am getting no signal. I was trying to locate the rear wiper relay, but the only relay in my manual that states "rear wiper" is all the ACC/Run, cigarette lighter, and front wiper relay. This can't be the same relay providing the signal to the wiper.
So, my question is.... Is there a relay for the rear wiper? Or is this signal coming out of the Smart Junction Box (please tell me I don't have to replace this damn thing)?
I've taken the motor apart, everything seems to spin freely. I cleaned up the electrical where the brushes make contact. I don't believe it is the motor, nor do I believe the shaft is seized.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help in advance!
