Okay, I've had my Z for about 3 weeks now, and this morning was the 5th time I have changed the windsheild wiper fuse. Anyone know why this ONE fuse would be blowing constantly? The other fuses are fine... Also, the wiper fuse was blown even when I got the car... Thanks,
Jason

you might have a short somewhere on that circut..

her are some possible causes; a direct short to ground which will blow the fuse in a few seconds, the linkage arms to the wipers are binding causing the circuit to overload, or the motor itself is worn out. You can remove the cowling between the hood and windshield and disconnect the wiper arm linkage and try to operate the wiper motor with no load. If the fuse still blows try cleaning the motor out. Inspect the wiring for shorts. Disconnect the motor completely and if it still blows then you have a short under the dash. What ever you do, don't increase the size of the fuse.

source of the problem... I found out today that every time I touch the switch for the rear wiper (which doesn't work) the fuse pops... any help?? THANKS!

Unplug the rear wiper switch.
Remove the rear wiper arm.

lww

Bleach, you're so practical! Obviously not a fan of the rear-wiper!

Bleach

well, yes.

I'm going to remove the rear wiper motor from my car just because it is ugly and we don't get along.
