Rear Wiper Won't STAY ON
I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee. When I turn on the rear windshield wiper, the wiper comes on, wipes the window a couple of times, then turns itself off. How can I make it stay on in rainy weather?

Heh, another difference for UK Jeeps then. The button is a two stage press on mine. First position is intermittent wipe, second position is wash. First position is a toggle (it stays in) and the second position is press/release (to position one).
If you can search out the part number for the rear wash/wipe switch for a UK Jeep you might be able to do a conversion.
Mine is a 97.

I've got a '99 XJ and I always used to think it was just press it when you need it, but I got a new switch, and there is definitely an "intermittent on" setting. I took my old switch apart and it was melted a bit inside and a spring fell out so maybe you all have burnt out switches.
