Rear wiper stopped working. Anyone help?

As above, it has simply stopped. The rear washer is OK. Where would I start looking to fix (car just out of warranty)?

Fuse box first point of call.

Hi Whiteman,
How far out of warranty ? Is it by time or klms ? Have you had full toyota servicing history? if so you could try toyota for consideration on warranty, toyota may pick up the cost of parts but you will have to pay labour cost, just try talking to the service manager.
Can you hear the motor or not ? if you can try doing up the nut under the wiper arm cover just near the piviot point. see how you go with toyota first.

False alarm and thanks for the advice. I checked fuses - all OK - first time in this area so now know how it's set up so that was worth it. Then went and checked wiper arm and it was caught on the stupid plastic cover for the spare (which the wife LOVES the look of). Took the cover off and the wiper is now working. Plastic cover back on (GRRRRR) and wiper runs freely.
