Rear windshield wiper

So my rear windshield wiper is stuck at half mast. I checked the fuse and it's fine. I keep looking for a relay but can't seem to find one. Is there a relay or is it the motor that is shot? Sorry it's an 08 sport.

if you hear the motor run its the connection between wiper arm and rotating post which can happen. if you can't hear the motor it, or the switch, is faulty. Run a lcircuitfrom the battery to the input coils to see if its the motor.

Check for battery voltage at the terminal when the rear wipers should be on. I think they only run continuously when the fronts are on continuously and the car is in reverse, with the key in "run" position.
