HELP, Front wipers!!!

[RAH77]

Hi all, thought id ask this question here first before a garage.

Today my front wipers and front washers on my R reg k11 sr stopped working. I checked my fuse box and realised the fuse for the wipers had blown. Replaced the fuse and blew again so something is wrong.

I dont know whether i need a new wiper motor or what can someone please help??

Any feedback greatly thanked.

Yeah, I agree, sounds like the motor.
As it burns out it tries to draw more current and blows the fuse.
Have you been switching the wipers on while they were frozen to the windscreen or trying to lift 6 inches of snow off with them? LOL!

We changed about 3 wiper motors between February 2009 and December 2009 but since the start of the year we have had about 5 a week between the garages! LOL!
