A little stumped with the current issue I am having with the rear wiper. Over the last few months now the first use of the rear wiper causes it to work but jam. It only ever jams on the first go and always in the same place. Flicking the stalk causes it to reset and then from there it works as normal.

It's an estate with a hatch so I opened the glass and the wiper moves super easy, I tried to start the motor with the hatch open but it didn't work.

I am guessing it could be an electrical fault as it is a constant and always stops in the first place. If it was more mechanical I could see if failing at various times or sticking in other locations?

Any ideas?

E61, the washer fluid comes from the boot hinge (also doesn't work) so the motor itself is dry. I think I will start with the motor and try take it apart and apply more grease to it to see if that helps.
