Windshield wiper problem

Hey guys, I just got a 1997 3000GT and I'm having a problem with my winshield wipers, I keep blowing the stupid fuse for them. I thought maybe it had something to do with the way the amp was wired in the car, so I completely disconnected it, and the wipers would actually work for a little while after that. But tonight, I tried to use them, and they got about half way up the window, then the fuse went again. Now everytime I put a fuse in, it's back to blowing as soon as I turn the key to the on position. Anybody have an idea on what I should be looking for to fix this? Thanks.

look at the wires in the plug that goes into the wiper motor, somethings shorting.

Think I located the problem. If I unplug my rear wiper motor, the fuse doesn't pop. For now I just left it disconnected, but I'm assuming I have some sort of problem with the wiper motor. I guess it's one more thing to put on my list of things to fix. lol
That's a damn nice looking 3kGT you have there Twizted.

For the back, there should be a button to the right of the steering wheel, on hte dash.
For the water on the front, pull the wiper lever towards you (the driver).

you may have something clogging the jets (dirt, old wax). Us a small needle to clear it out. can you hear it pumping?

also, the pump in the washer fluid reservoir tends to go out after 10 years or so. so if all else fails, remove the fluid reservoir and inspect the pump.
