Rear Wiper issue - it stops immediately when I switch it off
Hello, I have 2002 MDX. The rear wiper turns on just fine but when I turn the rear wiper off, the wiper stops mid-window, it doesn't reset and go back to its flat, level, bottom resting place. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Just a stab in the dark, but check the wire loom going to the tailgate. If you open the tailgate, it is in the upper left hand corner. There is a rubber boot around it. I have had two severed wires (and a third almost severed). Probably not the cause but one place to check.

The wiper motor isnt parking. The circuits responsible are built into the motor unit. The rear wiper motor needs to be replaced.
I never use the rear wiper on mine. I'd just disconnect it.

Oddly enough my rear wiper works fine, but my windshield wipers have the "stop wherever we please" issue. It's the wiper motor on mine, so I would assume it's the same for the back window. Time to replace the motor, or just turn it off when it's at the bottom.

It's free here. You get what you pay for. Maybe it's an accurate guess, maybe it is way off. So take everything with a grain of salt.

Premium unleaded is over $4.30 in the Bay Area right now. My 1460 sq ft townhouse cost over half a million dollars. And if you think my price is high, I think some of the Mercedes and BMW dealers have a shop rate over $200/hr.
Buuut, the median household income is like $80k in the Bay Area.
