07 Caravan SXT Rear Wiper problem.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has seen problems with the rear wiper motor
on a '07 Caravan. It is not a premium vehicle, so it has no control
other than a rear intermittent wiper button on it (other than washer
button, which does squirt fluid when depressed). When it is turned on,
the wiper motor activates in the intermittent mode, but only moves
about 20% across the rear window each time it is supposed to sweep. It
finally gets around the whole window, but in many very small
movements. Is this the wiper motor? I'm thinking it is, but would
appreciate any input. Van has 75K on it, and has been drivin
frequently down interstates in the winter, so could corrosion have
taken this motor out, or are they junk?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

 

an 07 with 75,000 on it? man that must be some killer highway mileage.

 

Don't forget, it hit the showroom in ~October 2006--2.75 years X 27000
miles per year would put us there! HTH, s

 

well i use my 96 LHS for business and personal, so going from 80,000 miles.
when i bought in a year and a half ago to 137,000 now makes since. if the OP
is doing something similar then it would sense.

 

I just bought this for $7995 from a local dealer, and it looks next to
new. Everyone must have been scared off by the mileage, but it is
clean. Definitely used for a business driven up and down the NYS
thruway though, but with the price, I'll still be ahead if something
goes wrong (like now).
