Either the wiper motor or the wires going to it are shorting out. First unplug the wiper motor replace the fuse try the wipers again if the fuse blows again then check the wire loom for a bare wire Check the colour of the wires at the plug on the motor. The most likely place for the wires to short out are at the switch. It may be an easier job to rewire ther wipers as there is a lot of wires in the loom. If you need to know how to rewire it get back to me and I will guide you through it

Check for ease of operation of wiper arms, if they are hard it can cause increased load on wiper motor causing higher amp draw resulting in blown fueses, trace back to motor, could be worn motor or failing wiper motor... disconnect motor and turn on wipers ,check to see if it still blows fuses...

Wind shield wiper blowing fuses

You have a short circuit to ground when the switch for the wipers is turned on. It does absolutely no good to keep replacing the fuse until the short circuit has been located and repaired. I guess you are just starting to figure this out five fuses later.

The lesson here is that fuses do not cause electrical circuit failures. Electrical circuit failures cause blown fuses. There are many people that do not understand this.

If the fuse remains intact until you turn the switch on, you will find the problem between the wiper (combination) switch and the wiper motor assembly or the wiper motor itself.

No scanner communication can be caused by many different issues. #1 be sure you have power and ground at the diagnostic connector. Many times this power supply in on the "cigar" fuse or "accesory" fuse. Drop a dime in the cigar lighter...blow the fuse and no communication occurs.

2004 Chevy Caviler 4dr Base model when i step on the brakes the dome light comes on. it used to be when i shut off my car the radio wouldn't shut off now the problem has switched my radio will shut off now...

It sounds like your fuse block has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Locate and inspect the fuse box and look for any corrosion that is causing the short which is giving you the electrical problems. Good luck and keep me posted.
