fickle rear wiper

'87 Golf

my rear wiper works sometimes and sometimes it doesntŠ


Cant be a fuse, but how do you check if its dodgy when its working and
conversely how do you check it out if its not?


I would appreciate light from someone that has experienced this
themselves?

thanks as always

Check the wiring between the body and the hatch, usually by the
passenger side hinge, you may have a bad wire in there, I have seen it
on alot of hatchbacks of all makes. next I would check the relay, it
may be faulty, and only activating some of the time, its not like a
fuse which is either good or bad, working or unable to work at all,
they can get corroded and only make good contact some of the time.
