Which fuse and where is it located? We recently had an ice storm and the wiper was left on when the vehicle was shut down. When restarted the wiper does not work. This happened last winter and the dealer replaced the fuse to repair the problem but it would be far easier for me to keep spare fuses and replace if this happens again. I need to know the size and location of the fuse.
Look in your owners manual under fuses. This will show you the location of each fuse. You will have two fuse boxes, one under the hood in the engine compartment and one inside the car. The manual will list all the fuses and give you a number and a picture diagram of the location.
Blown fuses will look dark and smokey, also there should be a map of the fuse locations on inside of fuse door, or just go to Oreilys and ask them...

You could have a problem with the xenon light itself on the passenger side or the wiring running to the light assembly.You could unplug the connector from the light assembly and replace the fuse if it still blows the fuse, its in the wiring harness if it doesn't it problably is in the light assembly. I'm not sure how the lights are configured on the Z if the zenon lamp is replaceable by itself, you can try swapping it out. I haven't had any problems with my Z but those are a few suggestions on troubleshooting your problem.

Hello Zoeno
Well in my experience it sure sounds like a bad wire in the wiring in the door jam. I have seen that happen before from the door shutting and opening all the time, I think there is a way to check it, if you put a fuse back in it and try using the passenger door to get in and out. If the fuse don't blow again after using the other door (drivers side) you have found your problem. I don't understand why GM would even change your fuse box for that it doesn't make any sense, I have been a shop owner for 11years now and a mechanic for 20 years and have seen many problem with electrical systems and when a fuse blows it is usually a bare wire touching somewhere in the system, also there is a relay for just about everything in that car, and could be a problem too. I know it may be a inconveniance to go thru the other door but it should help figure out if its the wiring in that drivers door or not. I sure hope that helps you out some, Thanks for using FixYa.com Bear001

After you have checked all the fuses.
Please check the FUSE # 9 15amp. Is the fuse for the front wiper.
Behind left side of dash.
I'm watching the DIAGRAM for your wipers.
And I found. the relay, But is part of the Wiper Switch. on steering column.
With a Test light. check the BLUE wire for POWER 12V.
ON the wiper motor connector.
If yes try to hit softly with a metal piece.
With the wiper switch on. and ignition on.
If work you need to replace the wiper motor.
And letme know if work. or not.
OK> I hope this help on your problem.

The problem is simple and you could possibly repair it yourself. the sensor on the brake master cylinder (front side protruding down from the bottom) is shorted out. This sensor turns off the cruise control when the brakes are pushed. You only have to unscrew the old sensor and replace it with the new one. You will notice that the old sensor has has brake fluid all through out it. this is the reason for the short. BTW you will lose a little brake fluid in the process so have the new sensor ready when you take off the old sensor. I know this doesnt sound like it could possibly be the reason but it is. hope it helps

the relay is dirt cheap at the store (8-12 dollars), the relay is easy to find. on top of the engine area back near the firewall is a small to medium sized black box with a snap up lid...there are relays just sitting inside of it, you want the one with 3 prongs going across the bottom and 2 prongs going front to back on the bottom. it's a big square piece that just pulls out. the wiper fuse is kinda a pain to get to busy easy to replace... it's a really big silver metal cased fuse on your fusebox closest to the floor... be careful because if the wiper fuse is bad, it may be hot as hell to touch so take care when grabbing it. any auto store will have one. if neither of these fixes work then you need to check the motor wheel that connects to the wiper arm rods under the vents where the washer lines run down from the arms... sometimes the pins that connect the arms to the wheel snap off which make the wipers stop. worst case is the motor itself went bad. hope this helps
