I had my wiring harness replaced ( I had no rear wiper or backup lights) turns out the wiring harness was the problem. Once replaced all works fine; except
My problem now is the wiper won't automatically return to the bottom of the rear window. If I use it on intermittent it returns to the base of the window, but not if I turn it on any other setting.
Can wiper system be reset by disconnecting both battery post.(like rebooting your PC or router) I know this works to reset a check engine light. I am thinking this because the wiper blade stops where it was when the wiring harness broke and shorted out. I can just try it but wanted to share this because the service manager said the motor was wearing out. This I doubt I have a 1995 legacy wagon and the wipers all work fine. Subaru makes a better car than most. (I have owned Subaru since 1978) and someone else might have a different idea as to this problem.
