My rear wiper has never worked, and I'm finally getting around to fixing it.

There's power at the motor connector, but pushing the switch has no effect on it. I think the relay may be bad. Is there a good way to test it, or anyone in the north bay willing to let me borrow their relay for 30 sec?

Jessa,

On my 78 the **** turns clockwise rather than pushing to activate the rear wipers.

A plain relay, like for horn or fog lights will work.

Note that there will only be one wipe if the button is pressed momentarily, instead of the electronically timed three (if you hold it down it will keep wiping until you let go).

I prefer using the horn relay, and have had it this way for some time.

Thanks, Porken. The horn relay behavour does sound preferable.
