This has flip up glass and tailgate that goes down - right? Is the tailgate a composite or metal? These things that move frequently use contact buttons instead of hard wired - at least the slightly older barn door type did that and if like that they must make good contact. If like that make sure they are clean. Gate may need to be adjusted tighter and or ground still isn't enough. Test that with a test light in reverse meaning power to common test light's alligator clip then what you touch with prick end on ground would light it. They put ground straps all over vehicles and when you get way back there it may not make it from one up front so test. Frame needs to be grounded and they probably use another braided ground strap in the rear from frame to body metal to assist, T buckwheat New User Sep 21, 2010, 8:31 AM Post #3 of 6 (4885 views) Re: 01 tahoe rear wiper just clicks Sign In THE GLASS DOES OPEN UP BUT THE WHOLE BACK DOOR (TAILGATE) LIFTS UP FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THE WIREING GOES THROUGH THE HEADLINER I RAN A GRND WIRE FROM BAT NEG ALL THE WAY BACK TO WIPER MOTOR NO CHANGE I TOOK THE CIRCIT BRD OFF WIRED IT DIRECT MOTOR RUNS BUT ITS SLOW UNTILL I PUT THE BATTERY GRND ON IT IS THE BLK WIRE GOING TO MOTOR THE GRND ???? DanD Veteran / Moderator Sep 21, 2010, 8:48 AM Post #4 of 6 (4884 views) Re: 01 tahoe rear wiper just clicks Sign In The wiper motors on these things are actually called modules; in other words computers. The wiper module monitors a window fully closed switch, along with “lift gate ajar” switches (left & right sides). If any of the three switches, do not close the module will not allow the wiper motor to operate. And as Tom said the contactors on the glass need to be clean and tightly touching when all is closed.

I wasn't sure exactly how the power got to that model OR that they went dang computer to know it's closed tightly and sensing contact.
