Does the fuse blow when the wipers are off or when you turn the wipers on? A fuse blowing means either a short circuit or an overload. Lets say that your wiper transmission is new and working properly, then an overload is probably blowing the fuse which is caused by the circuit pulling to much current because something is not aligned correctly and moving freely when the wiper motor is turned on. Before you connect the arms to the transmission, move the arm assembly manually with your hand to make sure the wipers go across and back on the windshield. This will verify that the arm assembly is moving freely and not jamming. Then turn the wiper transmission without connecting the wiper arms and see if the transmission is working properly and not blowing the fuse. This will verify that your wiper transmission is not defective. Check the wiring going to the wiper transmission for any bare spots or nicks on the wire insulation. If you have a bare spot or nick that is touching metal, the fuse will blow (this is called a short circuit). If you find a bare spot or nick on the wire use electrician tape to insulate the bare spot or nick. Usually three wraps of electrician tape around the bare spotor nick will do the job. Oh, make sure to replace the fuse with the correct amp fuse. Your car dealer auto parts can provide the information (over the phone) on the correct amp size. You can purchase the fuse at any auto parts. FYI: Too small an amp on the fuse will blow when the wiper is turned on. Too large of a fuse will cause the wiring to burn if your wipers should stop shifting and jam. Good Luck. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Windshield wipers won't work. Ford 2002 ZX2

The actual assembly arm that you turn on your windshield wiper (that says all of the controls on it) was bad and was causing the fuses to blow and burning up the motor. It was replaced and it works now as well as the a/c and heat which was not working before this fix.

SOURCE: Fuse keeps blowing

Greetings..hopefully we can help or at least isolate the issue. You need to know that there was a few recalls with the cruise control system which is involved.. speedo and odometer is possibly in that circuit..but I am sure the ac had a separate fuse and relay...I do not have a book or schematics here. ,,I would disconect the wires to the ac compressor taking that out of the cause... I would also disconnect the cruise control wire to the unit and drive aroud for a day or so to see what happens. This is whats known as isolate and test . It may take some time but it will give you answers to what is the cause and then check that system out with us. At least you will have it narrowed down...ps ..do not forget at when it happens and what type of roadway ( bumpy, soft, wet, snow) as it all plays a part in diagnostics. I hope this helped.

SOURCE: fuse marked ENG1 in fuse box under hood keeps

Hello gorick...the ENG1 fuse is ignition related on the S10. Look at the labeling on the fuse panel and make sure you have the correct fuse installed. I was thinking it called for a 20 amp fuse. If so replace it. If it blows again you have a short in the circuit.
A good place to check is where the bracket for the upper radiator hose and the engine harness come near each other. Inspect this area carefully, i have found the wireing harness shorted here when it rubs a hole in the wires and grounds out.
Good luck...i hope this helps

SOURCE: # 15 fuse keeps blowing, no windows, no wipers...

possibly the cruise cancel switch on the brake master cylinder is shorted, disconnect the switch and replace the fuse and see if everything comes back to life. the switch may be on the end of the master cylinder, Ford has had BIG problems and RECALLS for this switch going bad.

Windshield wipers will not work

you have a short, thats what killed them in the first place and sound like the very thing keeping them from working, this is the first thing i would assume is the issue, too much power, short circuit, wrong fuse try this stuff and let me know if it works and if not i have a bunch more solutions to try, process of elimination

The Wiper fuse keeps blowing? Any Ideas?

Does the fuse blow as soon as you turn on the switch? Or do the wipers operate for a bit then the fuse blows? Will the wipers work in intermittent mode? Can you move the wipers by hand? Unless other wiring work has been done (eg radio replaced) I suspect the wiper motor is toast.

Unplug the wiper motor and replace the fuse. If it works the wiper motor is shorted out. It may also be the wiring rubbed thrue somewhere causing a short.
