My rear wiper for my 97 Ford explorer works intermittently. Recently it has not worked at all. I checked the fuses and they are all fine. I brought it to class and my auto teacher said that if it works intermittently then it might be a bad ground. We both looked for it and could not find it, even with a diagram of the wiring. Can anyone pinpoint where the ground could be? My opinion is behind the hatch back door panel but we are not sure.

There was no recall, checked online for recalls and only things that popped up were tires and fuel systems.

I was thinking they had some problem with the rear wiper motors, they may even have had a recall. Check with a Ford dealer and see if there are any TSB's or recalls on the motor.

If you cannot find the ground then add another one by attaching a wire to the wiper metal surface and the other end to the frame of the car.
