Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Sonic owners report experiencing issues with the rear windshield wiper despite replacing the fuse. These problems may stem from a faulty rear wiper motor, which can prevent the wiper from functioning properly. Additionally, some owners find that a loose wiper arm connection to the motor shaft can be the culprit, and tightening the securing nut may resolve the issue. Clogged nozzles, often blocked by debris such as insects or dust, can also lead to wiper malfunctions; cleaning these nozzles may restore functionality. If these troubleshooting steps do not rectify the problem, it is advisable to seek assistance from a professional mechanic to diagnose and repair any underlying issues with the rear windshield wiper system.
