Wiper fuse

My windshield wiper fuse keeps getting burnt out. Every time I replace it and the turn the wipers on it burns out. Any idea on what is causing this and how to fix it.

Under the hood, disconnect the wiper motor connector.

Now put the wiper switch thru its’ full range.

Does the fuse still blow?


Happy Racing!

Re: Rain Pain

That would seem to indicate that the wiper motor has a short in it and needs to be replaced.
