Default 96 rear wiper but no switch?
Picked up a 96 xj and I've found it odd that there's a rear windshield wiper but there doesn't seem to be a switch for it anywhere. Was this common? Is there an easy way to add a switch for it?

It's automatic. There's a sensor on the roof that detects rainfall and it automatically activate the wiper. The rare factory option was only offered on 95-96

Might still have the harness, though. Unless that quit doing that in the later years.
