95 Lebaron blows wiper fuses
Today I used the wiper blades once to clear the windshield. After
driving five minutes or so, I try to give it another wipe and nothing happens. Once I get to my destination, I found the fuse was blown. So I pop another 20A one in, and as soon as I turn the key to the on position (before starting), it blows again. And again. Then I try a larger one, 30A. It blows just the same. Before I go replacing everything, what's good to look at? I figure it's the wiper parking switch (wherever that is ), since it happens immediately and the blades aren't parked completely. Should I just get a new motor/junkyard motor? Is the park switch within the motor assembly usually? |

If it does then replace the wiper Motor. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

Am however an old retired electrical guy, so I will respectfully suggest that you not replace a called for 20A amp fuse with a larger one in the hope that it will hold on a bit longer. Best case scenario doing that is you convert what may be a minor repair into a major and much more expensive one. Take care. Ken |
