Hi All,

 

I hope someone here can help me with this problem. First off,

apologies for my lack of automotive expertise.

 

I own a 1996 Subaru Impreza. The wiper fuse blew a few times. We

had the front wiper motor replaced, and everything worked fine for

approx. a week, during which the wipers were used successfully and

uneventfully. Then, the wipers stopped again. The fuse was blown and

a new one blew immediately upon being replaced. Our mechanic

checked things over (connections, etc.) and grounded something (sorry

don't remember the specifics). He replaced the fuse and successfully

ran the wipers for half an hour. Wipers worked fine once or twice more.

Tonight they stopped again (almost always after a couple successful

swipes); fuse blown again; no luck after replacing fuse.

 

Does anyone here have a suggestion about what to do or how to

pinpoint the problem?

 

Thanks.

You could have a leak somewhere, that is letting water into the motor or its circuit.
