    Sounds like you have a live wire grounding out. Find the wires for wipers and see if you have a wire grounding out.

    in keeping with possibility purely a bad connection. attempt disconnecting and reconnecting the wiper motor ability connections below the hood some circumstances. If that dosen't artwork, the the wiper motor is probable going undesirable and is drawing too lots modern-day.

    seems like the wiper motor is at fault.by putting a fuse that has a higher ratting you are looking for problems.always stay with the recomended fuse.
