Title: Help!Urgent! Wiper-fuse goes out all the time!
Post by Xeen on Oct 4^th, 2009, 1:38pm

The fuse nr 7 goes all the time. have tried with 30 amp but it burns that too.. the problem comes when i turn on the vipers.
never done this before.. later today i have to use the car on a long trip in the rain... I NEED WIPERS!

Any suggestions? Urgent...

You could try removing relay 2 in the main fuse box. It controls the intermittent wipe. If you think the auxiliary box has got damp try a hairdryer or compressed air and a spray of WD40. Do NOT use larger fuses as there is a danger you'll burn out the wiring....or worse!.

Do the wipers move at all when you turn them on??

If not then maybe the linkage has popped off and jammed?

other than that its either the motor or wiring

I found the error.. it was a shorted wiperhandle.. the outer button
