[Vwdiesel] silly ? re: rear wiper motor control

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

OK, silly question, but I have to ask.  My new-to-me 1986 Golf has a rear
wiper....<probably seized>.
How in heck do I turn it on?  I can get the squirter motor to spin, but so
far no joy on the motion of the wiper itself.  At least if I know how to get
voltage to it, I can troubleshoot the wiring and the motion, etc.

Sorry if this seems like a lame question, but my Jetta never had a rear
wiper; I have no owners manual, and the bl**dy thing doesn't wanna spin,
LOL!

OTOH, I installed a very old AM/FM cassette in it y'day -AND- ripped apart
the defrost switch which was partly melted and got it in serviceable
condition............so I'm not totally useless :-)

Thanks guys !
