Is it getting juice? Relay/Fuse maybe? I don't know if its on the same power as the front wipers or fluid pump or not.

Two possible reasons I can think of, (1) Check the connection under the moulding to the left of the tailgate, it is the same one you would have to dissconnect if you were to remove the "canopy". It might have wiggled loose.
(2) One of the bolts on the driver side that holds down the "canopy" is also holding down a switch that disables the power window and the rear wiper assembly, when removed. If that switch is bad, or you have the wrong size bolt in there, you will get the same problem.
Good luck!!

hey i think ur number 2 reason is correct! cuz i knew about the one near the tailgate and checked that one, but i never knew about the other one.

i removed the top not to long ago and put it back on the other day and didnt put all the bolts in so i bet ur right there
thanks!

incase u were wondering the only reason i wanted this to work is cuz theres so many stupid tailgaters here and it drives me crazy, so i just wanted to be able to move the wiper fluid sprayer thing so i could spray the tailgaters
