   Is the rear wiper working? Because i`m thinking along the lines of a faulty wiper stalk.

   If it randomly stopped instantly then probably a fuse.

   Either there is no live feed going from the wiper stalk or the wiper motor has had it or I think there is also a relay.To test for a live feed unplug the wiper motor & put a test lamp on the connector plug get someone to operate the wiper stalk.If there is power going to it the light will light up,which means new wiper motor.If theres no power going to it then either the stalk is broken or you need a new relay.
