2006 vibe rear wiper and defrost

Post by riffraff »

I have a 2006 vibe, the rear wiper and rear defrost went the same time this morning. Checked interior fuse, its ok, any other ideas?

There is harness that goes from the body to the rear gate, I'd start by inspecting that.

Are the taillights working? How about the third brake light?

I would suspect that too. It's in the upper lefthand corner of the hatch. While not overly common, a few people have had issues with the wires breaking at that joint.
