Default Telstar 1985 AR - Wipers Fuse failure

Dear members,
Another nasty situation that appeared recently (cold/wet weather) has been the ongoing purchase and insertion of 15A fuses for the wipers - they just keep on blowing out when I use the wipers lever (any position)! Inspected wiring around the wipers mechanism, no shorting or presence of water/moisture. How can I resolve this nightmare, as without their use, it's dangerous driving the car on a rainy day.... Thanks again, Flokos

Your wiper motor should have a wire that goes to earth, check that for good clean contact and check inside the plug on the wiper motor for clean bright contacts. If all is good, it's time for a new wiper motor.
