Rear Wiper Quit Moving

How can I fix this? Does this mean motor needs repaired? Can I use WD 40 to loosen it up. Thank You

Wiper motors usually last a lot longer than seven years, so I doubt if the motor is bad. You can try spraying WD-40, but try not to get any on the vehicle's paint, since it may damage the paint surface.

If that doesn't work, check your owner's manual and locate the fuse for the rear wiper. It could just be something as simple as a blown fuse.
