The wires tend to break just inside the rear hatch where the wires flex each time the door is opended and closed.

Check the switch?
Is there a fuse in the fuse panel for the rear wiper?

Mike,
A few things to go over. It may seem redundant, but near with me. What did you do to ensure the switch and wires were okay?

A visual inspection does not insure that the copper conducter inside the insulation is intact.
