front wipers are very slow? how do I turn on the rear wipers?

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

February 10, 2025

The front wipers on a Dodge Grand Caravan may be slow due to issues with the 30-amp J-case fuse, one of the two relays, or the wiper motor itself. You can check and replace the fuse if needed, tap or swap the relays to test them, and inspect the motor for wear or failure.

To turn on the rear wipers, locate the wiper control lever on the left-hand side. Turn the knob one click to activate the rear wiper. To spray washer fluid, rotate the knob further while the wiper is on.
