T3: Re: my wipers short out

[king5zreo@juno.com]

Dary,
	I helped a friend recently with the same problem. Make sure the
wiper motor is connected to the correct fuse. I'd tell you which one but
don't have my repair manuals with me at work. Maybe someone else can
refer you to this. The problem with my friend's wiper motor blowing fuses
was that the motor was faulty plus it was connected to the wrong position
on the fuse panel. Before disconnecting anything, make a drawing of the
terminals on the motor and/or switch & the color of the wires & which
terminal they connect to. These should be something like 31, 31a, 31b,53,
53a, 53b. This is recalling from memory.
