Default Rear window washer works but NOT the wiper?

Any ideas? Common issue? I checked the fuse and the fuse is OK, is the motor most likely bad?

Bad motor.

Did you try and use it while it was frozen to the glass this winter?

Could be the button, switch it with another button, like for the rear washer since you know that one works.
Just pop them out, switch the plugs and see if it works, if so you need a new switch, if not then you need a new motor.

ok, thanks for the info. BTW, im still confused on the rear window issue, i talked to a land rover tech here and he said there are a bunch of different ECU's behind the glove box and that its hard to tell which joint needs to be soldered.

I used to have a "how to" link bookmarked, but I lost it. Easy to do when you have 300 bookmarks.
It should be labeled "window lift" or some such.
Also try Googling it.
how to fix...or some thing to that effect.

It will be cracked at the base of the solder joint.
You can just go ahead and resolder all of them.
