You might have a short in the windings of the motor. If you want to try a quick and dirty test, find a hole in the motor or take it out and take it apart, then hose down the insides with WD and put it back. If water is getting in and messing something up, this should hold it off for long enough to prove where the problem is. Unplug the wiper motor and try it. Plug it back in and try it. If it only happens when the motor is plugged in, then it's the motor.
If not, it's got to be traced back to the switch. You can water test it yourself. Hose the car down in the driveway for a while.
If water is getting in somewhere, it will get in and cause the problem. Another short term trouble shooting option might be to try a circuit breaker instead of a fuse in the panel. Do as Auritania says, and a water test is hosing it down to see if the wet makes the problem re-appear.
Sounds like you have a leak in the motor, that's my guess. Oh I DO want to trade the car in, but not until next year. We are moving and not sure if we will be in the city or out a few miles. If we are IN the city then my wife won't need a car and we can get by with just one.
However, if we live outside of the city then we will both need a car. I was also considering getting a small high MPG vehicle for the commute to work as well So I'd hate to sink a few thousand in a used car "just to get by" and then a year from now find out that we need to get a different type of car.
Clearly my brain is broken. When I first read this I saw " It could have been a rusty metal Crusty-O brand Oatmeal oat. Car Help: Wiper fuse keeps blowing - repair shop says there isn't a problem You may Hi Stephanie.

How to Buy a Good Quality Alternator The The alternator is one of those parts that, when it malfunctions, can leave you high and dry by the side of the road.
Your Your vehicle depends on electricity in order to run, and this electricity can be traced back to the spark plugs which create a spark to ignite the fuel. Browse other content. By ricks , December 30, in Defender Forum - I've not changed anything electrical on this circuit but obviously the wiper has seen more use recently due to the weather. It's never been great - usual slow speed ok, fast speed parks in the wrong place. The last time it went today the wipers weren't even on.
The fuse cover was off as i'd replaced it ealier today and i thought i saw a little thing out of the corner of my eye, checked the wipers - nothing I've done a search but i cannot see any known fault posts so before i start stripping it down i wanted to ask on here if anyone can offer any help? That will blow you fuses quicker than gordy brown will flog our gold cheap. If not then check the wiper motor it-self it may be drawing too much power meaning its on its way out The "parking in the wrong place" comment in the OP makes me wonder if the self-parking switch on the side of the motor, three wires is on the way out.
I don't think you can get them seperately though? I'll have a good look to see if any other circuits are running off this one then double check all the wiring for the motor. The last time the fuse went the wipers were not even on so i'm hoping it's either an earth issue or something else on this circuit.. The wiper motor park switch has an ignition-controlled, unswitched, live connected to it - this enables it to continue to power the wiper motor to the wiper's park position when the column wiper switch is turned to off.

The broken off contact was loose inside the parking switch box and it can move around and short out sometimes. Like all my repair endeavors, lack of funds is driving my need to fix something myself. My 20 amp wiper fuse blows immediately when I put a new one in. I've got a multi-meter and this diagram but don't really know where to start or how to read it. There are some wires coming off the transmisstion auto and the transfer case but they didn't look exposed. The threads I've read indicate the reverse lights are tied in to this circuit too.
I also have a trailer attachment, don't know if that's tied in. As always, any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks Mudders! Trace the wires off of the fuse panel, sounds like a short somewhere. I would check the trailer attachment for the lights. I have known a few people that used crappy connections there professionals and the connection shorts. Would be a good easy place to start.
I just end couple months ago my wiper journey that start when I decide to replace the 60 series wiper motor with the 62 series.. I would start testing your wiper motor, then I would move to the wiper relay behind the lower dash, blue box right over your right foot when sitting in the drivers seat.. In my case my failure was related to how much effort need to to the wiper motor to move the links.. I end replacing with used decent ones, greasing 'em up..
I'll give it all a shot and post back. Thanks guys. Anything I can eliminate helps. Clack, Try this 1st. One afternoon I went thru 15 or so blue fuses before I tracked down the problem on my 60 blowing the wiper fuse every time I turned on the wipers. Go to your T-case I 'think" on the passenger side, but for sure up high on the T-case.
Mine was at the top of the T-case and had rubbed thru the harness. Thanks, John.
