hello everybody. we were leaving to go somewhere the other day and I noticed that the rear wiper was not working. When my wife entered the car I told here the wiper was not working. Upon hearing that she said "kids do you want to tell daddy why the wiper isn't working?" They then proceeded to tell me that they, from outside, stopped the wiper while it was going back and forth. So my question is this, where should I begin with troubleshooting this. Or maybe somebody here knows exactly what the problem is and there will be no troubleshooting needed.

Thanks,
Ken

LOL, I would start by checking the fuses in the rear of the car.

My bad, I was thinking 2001. All of your fuses are in the engine bay. Check out the 34MB wiring diagram:

I would first check the lid for the fuses, the PDF is quite large. There is also a relay for the wiper (104).
