This past summer on my S13 I would have an intermittent problem with the wiper fuse blowing periodically. Then for a long time up until now everything worked fine. Until a couple of days ago. Now As soon as I replace a fuse it blows. If the key is on accesory postion and the wipers are off it will blow immediately too. Ive seen vehicles with faulty motors for components draw too many amps and blow resistors and fuses. Is there a component on S13s that commonly does this or something common to check? Im not a real fan of electric problems. I never claimed to be an auto electric wizard even though Ive worked on cars for a while.

update: it is now working again for the time being. Replaced the fuse again after checking over the plugs and exposed wiring to the motor and the amplifier box. I noticed that the window regulator motor also has an amplifier box instead of a relay. Ive had to replace that once before.
