Most likely your wiper motor needs replacing as it could be drawing too many amps. Also could be wiring grounding out. Unplug you wiper motor and see if the fuse blows

SOURCE: fuse #12 for 2000 lincoln towncar keeps blowing

fuses are a safety device. they are made to blower when to much load is drawn over them. some component on the circuit is shorting out. if possible unplug all the items on that circuit. put in a new fuse, then reconnect component one at a time until the fuse blows again. a process of elimantion. it may take some time, but it will be expensive to take it to a dealership.

SOURCE: fuse keeps blowing

If fuse keeps blowing that means that there is a shortage on AC wiring or switch controlling the air conditioner.

Also an abnormal power draw from AC caused by an internal fault on AC can cause the fuse to blow.
Test wiring and switch with a voltmeter, the most common is that there is a short to ground between wiring and car body somewere.

SOURCE: 2000 ford taurus keeps blowing fuse#28 in the

The heading says2000 taurus and 1999 taurus. I looked up the wiring for a 1999 taurus. Fuse #28 goes to the heated oxygen sensors and the canister vent solenoid. You have 2 oxygen sensors (green connectors)and 2 catalist monitors(blue connectors) that use this fuse for the heaters that are in the sensors. I would check these sensors to see if any of their wiring is shorted. I have seen in the past where oxygen sensor wiring would rub on a front drive axel and wear thru the wire insulation causing a short. You really need to look at all 4 sensors and their wiring closely for shorts. If they look ok then disconnect all of them and reconnect 1 by 1 until fuse blows again. Fuse #28 also powers the canister vent solenoid which is located under the trunk (under the car) in a black plastic housing (approx 1ft by 1ft). It is the only item with wires going to it. If you disconnect this and the fuse stops blowing then it is shorted. Also check the wiring to see if it rubs or is shorted anywhere.
Hope this helps

SOURCE: 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.

01 FORD F150 STYLESIDE CREW WINDOWS AND WIPERS WILL NOT WORK. BLOWING FUSES

I would check for traces of water that have leaked into the inside fuse panel. You can sometime see rust marks on the metal parts of the dash around the fuse panel. There is a module on the back of the fuse panel and wire connectors that you can remove and inspect for water. If you find water in the fuse panel...the module and fuse will need to be replaced. If no water is found...the circuit that keeps blowing the fuse will need to be traced for a short. I could not find any common circuits for the wipers,power windows or lights.

2000 Ford windstar. The rear wiper stalls when reaching about the 12 O'clock position. Must be moved manually. If left in the stalled position,will blow the #7 fuse in the under hood box. When the...

You may have a very gummy deposit on the glass in the 12:00 position that the wiper fluid is not removing. Run your hand over the glass area after it has been cleaned by the wiper. If your hand drags on the surface, try various solvents (alcohol, turpentine, paint thinner, TSP detergent, etc.) (keep it off of the paint!!!) to get it free of the sticky substance. Also, clean the wiper blade rubber with whatever works. The fact that the wiper seems to work correctly when the glass is wet, would seem to indicate that there is no problem with the motor, or the drive mechanism. It is also receiving sufficient power in that it blows the fuse when stalled. Hope this helps!

T rg fiesta front wipers fuse keeps blowing

Are you replacing it with the correct amp fuse? Buy a couple of the RIGHT fuses and try this.Your wiper motor may be bad, or the wiper mechanism is binding, causing the motor to over amp and blow the fuse. Try lubricating, if you get to it, the arm mechanism, and make sure it is not hitting anything while it is in motoion. Not familiar with this cars set up. Remove wiper blades, or stand them up and see if it still blows tyhe fuse
