supraspeed Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ok the wipers fuse keeps blowing . when i start the car the front wipers move once then the fuse blows. changed the fuses a few times now and same happens. anyone know why this could be? the cigarette lighter still works though and i thought they were on the same fuse?

tooquicktostop Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 When you start the car the wipers should not move, the wiring to the wipers must be shorting somewhere, the tricky bit is finding where, I would start with the earth from the wiper motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky7ine Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The front wiper motor sits under the plastic grill at the bottom of your windscreen, if i remember right there's 6 screws holding it in place and under the bonnet there is a rubber seal that is held in by clips (careful removing them i snapped a few) Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Unplug the wiper motor and if the fuse does not blow. Change the wiper motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
