Mend Ford KA Rear Wiper Switch

My rear wiper does not work,or automatic boot opener?

Since my wife got her KA the rear wiper and boot opening switch do not work.Is this a common fault or is this fault going to cost me dear.

could be that the earth connection is at fault.some vehicles use hinges for the earth connection between tailgate and body. after a while rust and usage can make connection faulty. try running a new earth wire from tailgate to a good clean earth point in boot [there will be one for rear lights]and see if this cures your fault. also the multi connector pins and connections may need a good clean up.[these are near boot catch.]
hope this helps.
