Check the fuse and relay located in the dashboard complartment located near the drivers knee. Fuse number #43 and relay #18 control the rear wiper for the 2001 model. Check your operators manual for the correct numbers for 2005 model.
The fuse can be checked by pulling it out and looking at the U shaped wire inside the plastic case. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with the same size. The size is marked on the top of the fuse, 10, 20 30, or 40. Fuses are available at the local auto parts store.
The relay can be checked by switching it with the front wiper relay, #19, and checking to see if the front wipers still work. Replace if needed. Your Ford dealer can supply a new relay.
If the fuse and relay are OK then its time to check connections to the wiper switch and motor. The switch can be checked by measuring the voltage, using a voltmeter or indicator, at the motor connections with the switch in the "on" position. If voltage is detected the switch is good, replace the motor. If no voltage replace the switch.
Fuse or windshield wiper motor.
Blown fuse or bad wiper motor.
How do you replace the windsshield wiper relay in a 2004 Ford Focus. It would appear that the relay is in the fusebox, but access to it is impossible. Looks like the fusebox may need to be removed to access.
Because the windshield wiper is on.
It sounds like a short circuit in the control switch. The quickest, easiest and cheapest way to fix it would be to pull the fuse that controls the rear wiper.
Check the wiper relay. If it is good, then either the wiper motor or the wiper switch is bad. If it just stopped working one day for no reason, I would suspect the wiper motor. However,I just had this problem and it was the windshield wiper transmission, they started getting slower and slower over a few months and then it was seized one day. That is one strong motor VW uses so it is hard to go bad.
Sound to me like your wiper motor is out. The water pump is totally separate from the wiper motor. Good Luck!!!
If it's the same reason mine stopped, it's because the not is loose where the wiper arm is attached (at the windshield). Most likely caused by operating the wipers while they are stuck in ice or snow. Hope that helps
a bad fuse, control module (that little thing you use to turn on your wipers), or the windshield wiper motor is bad.
I have a 2006 Ford Focus (Australian model). You would think changing the wiper rubber would be a piece of cake, wouldn't you? Not so. Here is how: http://www.madram.net/madram/pageDisplay.php?module=page&pid=46
First step would be to check fuse, if good check to see if there is power to the wiper motor, if so bad wiper motor, if not could be switch. Also, get some W-D 40 and spray the area of the windshield wiper motor. Then take a hammer, and gently hit on it. It might just be stuck on something.
if it is a new style s10 they had a common problem of the wiper control module going bad and intermittenly quiting. the module is located underneath the wiper motor cover.
