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

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.

Do you have a question about the Grand Caravan and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
front wipers are very slow? how do I turn on the rear wipers?
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.
