1997 Acura 2.5 TL wiper fuse keeps blowing

In the under hood fuse box , should have diagram inside the lid . Front wiper's or rear ? Front fuse # 36 - 25 amp. Plus Two relay's PCB hi and Wiper PCB relay . Wouldn't think this being fuse problem . Wiper switch , motor etc... The wiper's are control by a computer . BCM - body control module .

The windshield wiper/washer system consists of front and rear wipers. The front and rear wipers are operative when the vehicle is in accessory or run. The front wipers have 4 different modes: Mist, Intermittent, Low, and High. When the front wipers are in the intermittent mode, there are 5 delay modes to chose from, commanded by the windshield wiper washer switch through the body control module (BCM). The rear wipers has an only one mode.

If the fuse is bad , could have a short to ground or wiper motor pulling to much current (amps) . Fuse's don't just blow for no reason ! Could also have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored in the BCM .

DTC B3715 02: Front Wiper Relay Drive Circuit Short to Ground
The body control module (BCM) controls the wiper motor based on input from the windshield wiper washer switch. The BCM monitors the wiper washer switch through three separate signal circuits and a ground circuit. The windshield wiper switch high signal circuit is used to determine high speed wiper operation, the windshield wiper switch low signal is used to determine low speed, intermittent, and mist operation through the use of a resistor ladder, and windshield washer switch signal circuit is used to determine washer operation.
The BCM controls the windshield wiper motor through two output controls, controlling two different PCB relays which control the desired wiper speed, high or low.

The PCB relay's are non- servicable , replace fuse box . Soldered in Your best bet mit be to take it to a qualified repair shop .

This is a classic trouble shooting issue. You need to "follow" the electricity by testing that the wiper switch has power, that it turns power on/off, and then that the motor gets power when the switch is on. If that all tests good, the last bits include testing that the motor is properly grounded, and that if you manually turn the motor, the wipers move.

It can be faulty wiper motor or blown wiper control fuse.

Do you hear any kind of noise when you starter the wiper function.If yes then fuse is ok,but issue is wiper motor.
If no movement at all and no noise then its blown fuse or shorted/loose wiper control wiring:-----
For complete troubleshooting i suggest you few helpful links with accurate solutions.

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.

When the fan fuse blows, Usaly means the fan is overheating and ready for replacement, If ignored you will need a motor..

COULD BE FUSE.IF FUSE GOOD.CHECK TO SEE IF POWER GOING TO WIPER MOTOR.IF YES.REMOVE WIPER MOTOR HOT WIRE IT USING JUMPER WIRES TO CAR BATTERY.IF WIPER DONT WORK IF HOT WIRED.WIPER MOTOR IS BAD.IF WIPER MOTOR WORKS HOT WIRED.YOUR WIPER LINKAGES BINDING. NEED LUBRICATING OR REPAIRED.

I had this same problem. The wiper blades would extend too far and hit the edge of the car, or they wouldn't extend far enough and only wipe about 3/4 of the windshield. The problem was a broken Wiper Rod A. My local mechanic replaced it - the part was about $20 and the labor about $230. Have them look at wiper rod A

YOUR WIPER MOTOR COULD HAVE BINDING LINKAGE AND PIVOTS.TRY LUBRICATE THEM WITH WD40.TRY NOT TO GET ANY ON WINDSHIELD.IF THIS DONT WORK WIPER MOTOR COULD BE FAULTY.

you may of fitted the blades when the wiper motor wasnt in park

ok remove wiper arms turn ignition on turn on wipers then turn of by wiper swicth not key motor will stop in park position fit wiper arms in positon try and your done

Hi my name is Allen!

When the fuse for the wipers keeps blowing, that means either the motor has a dead short within it and must be replaced, or the wiring going to the motor is damaged and shorting out on the vehicle body somewhere and must be repaired.

Here is how you check it; replace the blown fuse, unplug the connector from the wiper motor, then turn the key on if the fuse does not blow then you need to check the wiring to the motor if the wiring is not damaged anywhere replace the wiper motor.
