Yes, it has happened to me with my 2007 Ford Expedition. If the wiper is siezed in a position other than the normally off position, the motor will continue to strain to return to the off position. If this happens to you, make sure the rear wiper is turned off, then open the glass in the rear liftgate. This will disengage the motor from the wiper, and the motor should rotate counterclockwise to the off position. If the rear wiper is not too siezed, you should be able to manually move the wiper back to its off position before closing the rear glass. This will align the wiper drive pin on the inside of the glass with the drive slot in the motor. These need to be aligned to be able to close the glass. The faulty wiper arm assembly will likely need replacing.
Bad Battery. Bad Alternator. Lights left on by mistake. Something left running. Exc.
Yes, if the relay was stuck it would drain the battery.
Because if you reversed the polarity at the battery it would blow the fuse through which current flows to the drain.
Its not charging.
A car battery in any car would drain due to a short in the electrical system.
A raidator in need of a flush will not cause a battery drain.
No, a bad rear sensor to an air suspension compression would not directly make a motor not work. It can cause a battery to drain which would cause starting issues.Ê
For a battery to "Drain" you MUST have a short somewhere or the "Glovebox" or "Trunk" light is staying on etc. etc. Battery's don't just "Drain" on there own ;-) TommyTrouble
No, a bad coil will not drain the battery.
It could be a bad battery.
Yes, that would definitely drain the battery.
A short in the wiring.
