I'm curious what options there are for non-mechanics in diagnosing and correcting an issue where fuses for the Windshield Wipers on my 2005 Ford Windstar Mini-Van keep blowing? Upon placing the new fuse in the slot there is a snap and the fuse is blown.

Any help is welcome!

The cause of a fuse blowing is always because too high a current is passing through it, so you need to find out why.

Realistically, options are:

  • A short circuit in the wiring to the wiper motor - which you can diagnose with a multimeter
  • A failure in the wiper motor itself - best tested (by a non-mechanic) by replacing with a know good one
