Iceblade02 0 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 So we got our 1996 V6 626 two years ago, and I may end up inheriting it (and its issues) in a while. So, there are two main issues I have with it currently, and they might be tied together. The first, and arguably most severe problem is that the trunk refuses to lock, both via the central locking system, and via the rear lock. The second issue is that the rear wiper is acting possessed. Occasionally it'll start up and wipe away to its hearts content (completely at random and unaffected by the controls), and occasionally it'll stop. When it doesn't start up randomly, it usually follows whatever setting the controls are on. I'm thinking that this is an electrical issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickR 49 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Welcome to the board! I never heard of any 626 having a rear wiper! Which country are you in (maybe it's different there)? Or maybe it's an aftermarket add-on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iceblade02 0 Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 Well it's a european hatchback, like this one here. So it has a rear wiper as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickR 49 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Neat! We don't get the hatchback in North America. I'm just guessing, but the rear wiper and trunk lock problems might be related. And one of the most likely places for an electrical problem that would affect both wiper and lock is where the hatch wiring bends, right where it passes from the body of the car to the hatch. So see if the wring looks damaged there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
