Wipers inop and fuse blows
Wipers inop and fuse blows
Hi, I am a novice when it comes to car electronics, so I appreciate the advice in advance.
Here is the problem: all wiper functions inop on my 1982 Trans Am. I changed the fuse, but it blew again when power was applied.
Is this caused by a short somewhere in the system and, if so, what is the best way to determine where? Thanks,

Thanks, I tried that and at least the fuse did not blow, but there is now a heavy load (i.e., noticable drop on voltmeter) when the wiper switch is activated (and the wipers still do not work).

Open the wiper motor unit.
Apply 12 volts thru a fuse to the purple wire.
If the motor is good it will run.
If the fuse blows it’s probably a defective motor.
