For those of you with electrical knowledge....

Aight, i recently discovered that whenever i try to use my windshield washers my fuse blows. It doesnt blow when using the wipers or sunroof however, only the washers. This never happened b4 my car got the rear wiper shaved off, and i remember my uncle said that he didnt tape up the wires too great, so i was just wondering if the rear wiper/washer wires could be causing this short. I was a little skeptical about this, since tryin to use the front washers shouldnt have anything to do with rear, but maybe im wrong. Lemme know wat you all think. Thanx

Hmm... I suppose it's possible. Why not find the wiring for the rear-wiper where it connects up front and disconnecting them and see what happens?

I just looked through the helms manual, and it shows that the systems are connected (front and rear)... The front washer switch is connected directly to the rear wiper switch, so that could really be the problem...

Here's a pic of the wiring diagram:


Hope that helps.

Yep, and even if that isn't the cause of the blown fuses, at least you won't need those wires anyways.
