Lenny Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hello all, Looking for a wiring fault/break for the Rear Wiper of a 91' Classic. Where would I find the wiring within the engine bay? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 From memory (my RRC is sadly no more ), I don't think there is any. The loom goes up the driver's A pillar and along the roof to the motor at the back. Stating the obvious , but have you a) checked for a blown fuse and b) checked to see if the motor is geting 12V?

Ally V8 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think the drivers door needs to be closed for the tailgate wiper to work too.(May help when testing ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks. Can the rearwiper gears cease? This is a small job i've been meaning to complete - the rearwiper failed (vehicle been stored)so after i gave the blade a small pull by hand - an intermittent "croaking" sound developed whilst driving so removed the fuse from passenger side box - Is there a relay anywhere? After removing the correct fuse - the rear screen heater and washpump have now stopped - the wiring for the rear washpump is behind the screenwash bottle.

Bowie69 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Bish is correct with his description of where the wiring goes ^^^^ One other thing to note is the pin switch at the top of the tailgate inhibits the wiper action, IIRC, to stop it shoving the arm through the glass... I know one of my cars had this, I think it was the Rangie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway_Star Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Rear wiper on mine won't work if; any door is open (including tailgate), or if the interior light is switched on. Obviously it's inhibited by the interior light circuit. Oddly enough my rear wiper packed up recently, I had a spare motor for some reason, swapping it out cured the problem. It's a bit of a bitch to change. The gutter gets right in the way. Wiring is ona 3 pin plug tucked up out the way, plus a ring terminal for ground.

Lenny Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 The pin switch - were these present on all models of the classic. Does anyone have an image to share? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
