Here are the schematics for the audio and front wiper systems, power and
ground distribution.

Perhaps someone can used them to find the common items between the two
systems and troubleshoot your problem
Good luck,

I actually enjoy looking at wiring diagrams, so I took a gander for
you. Here is what I noticed:
Looking on the power distribution file, page WI-20 and 21 show that
the loads we are interested in are FB30 and FB31. If you then go to
page WI-19, you will see at the bottom of the fuse and relay box, they
both sit side by side. If you go above the box, you'll see that they
are both fed by E7. I am not sure what E7 is, but it's probably a pin
designtioin on the box. I think there is a wire coming off of this
that might be yellow (because of the Y on the diagram). However,
something important to notice is it looks as though that wire quickly
traces back to the accessory side of the ignition switch. The loads
off of the accessory side are FB28, 29, 30, 31, and 38. These are all
located in the chart on pages WI-20 and 21. The wire splits off
between the ignition switch and E7 to also go to a fuse that feeds
FB38, which is your rear wiper. So you can isolate the fault a little
bit to just E7, or the stretchof wire feeding it if the rear wiper
works when the font wiper is not working. If it also doesn't work,
then the fault is before that split. It might be in the ignition
switch. Perhaps it isn't making a good connection when in the on
position, but after a bit of vibration from driving, it connects. I
don't know. P{erhaps a swift smack on the steering column if it
doesn't work. If that does produce a working wiper and radio, it might
be the switch. But hopefully this helps more than it confuses.
