Wipers stopped working have replaced fuse but just blew it straight away

change the wiper motor relay

could be a faulty wiper on /off switch

that's because it's a wiper control module that I think your looking for what is happening anyway do they work at all ==yes/no only certain positions work===yes/no or won't shut off ===yes/no



that's it right here^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and the location is in the diagram above but you must check all the fuse/s first Google 1996 ford crown Victoria and download for free to your phone/computer that way you'll always have it then go to roadside emergencies and the passenger fuse box/power distribution box diagram under the hood are there and is needed for times when something happens on the road if your wipers stopped working because you tried to use them without clearing ice away or a big piece of ice got stuck in the cowl where the wipers are you blew the fuse if they work erratically or won't shut off or stop up on the window blocking your vision either the module shown above or the wiper transmission in the wiper motor has failed and must be replaced as a whole unit

That really sounds like a fuse blew for the wipers.
Check your owners manual for fuse box location.
Please let me know if this helps

the washer fluid could be empty / the fuse for the wiper blew / the relay went bad /if you tried to use the wipers without clearing ice away you blew the fuse/ if you just put water in instead of washer fluid it's frozen/ if the wiper works and there is windshield fluid in the tank and not water and all fuses are good the pump motor for the fluid went and is easy to change

The fuse blows to prevent wire melting and eventual fire! If it blows straight away then there will be a short circuit somewhere in the circuit, which means the electricity is going from the battery positive to the fuse then straight back to the battery negative without any resistance. You would have to follow the wiring and test components until the fuse no longer blows. :)

You have a wiper motor with a short in it. replace the motor and the fuse.

Looking at a wiring diagram would be a good place to start . Then leaning how to test automotive electrical circuits with a DMM - digital multimeter .Plus you never put a higher amperage fuse in place of a lesser amperage fuse . This is how cars burn down to ground . You can find free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model and engine size .

You Blew a fuse, Rear wiper and side impact airbag both run off a 7.5mw fuse located under your dash.... replace it and you'll be good to go.

Sounds like you blew a fuse in the main fuse box.
Or a solenoid that helps to activate them.
check your fuse panel and find where those items are located in the box and replace

If you attempted to use them when frozen it's possible the motor burned out or you blew a fuse. Check the fuse first to see if power is getting the wiper motor. If it is and motor doesn't work you'll need to replace the motor.
