Rear wiper of ford escape 2003 just stopped working

Hi,

The rear wiper motor fuse is fuse #3 passenger compartment fuse block, located on the left hand side kick panel. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses.

Here’s an image taken from the owner manual that shows where it is in the fuse block.

If the fuse is not blown, check if the rear washer works. If it does then there is a problem with the wiper motor or wiper motor operate circuit

If the fuse is blown there is always a reason why a fuse blows, so if it blows again when you try to operate the rear washer or the rear wiper, you will have to investigate further as to why it happened. Faulty washer motor or wiper motor or perhaps the operate wire is touching the metal frame of the vehicle etc.
