hi there - having read this thread i thought i would resurrect it.
My rear wiper does not work - i can hear a small click when it is turned on (Relay?). Fuse seems fine so tried to see if there was power etc to rear wiper when it is turned on but I couldnt work out when power was coming on/off with the meter i was using.
Any other ideas with regard to what might be wrong or is a motor a safe bet.
thanks again - great site!

Hi People.

Mini Cooper 2005

My rear wiper works when it feels like it! Sometimes when you turn it for one wipe it will go for 7 or 8. Other times it won't work and then start working when its turned off. The water jet always works. Only the other day the boot lock has started popping when you open the car door. It constantly clicks away.

Is this maybe water ingress causing the tailgate electrics to short? All the lights are fine. Where is the earth cable for the tailgate electrics?

If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Might be something of help below, water ingress into the tailgate is often from the high level brake light gasket and bad earths or moisture in connectors can create havoc with the Mini's modern 'bus network' style wiring system:
