So I was installing a trailer light controller in my 99 XJ today, which had to be spliced into the harness inside the drivers side quarter panel. I noticed some of the wires in one of the plugs was badly corroded and when I started messing with it they came out of the plug. now my rear wiper hasn't worked for about 2 years and I replaced the motor forever ago, but could never get it to work.
So I cut the plug out and spliced all the wires together with some handy new connectors on amazon that look like a butt connector, but actually solder the wire together and has shrink wrap with heat activated glue in them. and voila my rear wiper works.
so if you made it through my rambling, if your rear wiper doesn't work, or your having weird electrical issues on the rear end of your jeep. take a close look at the wiring harness in the rear quarter panel. mine was by my C pillar (I have a 2 door) you 4dr guys and gals it should be by your D piller tucked into the body.
