Wipers Dont Work :(

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been having a problem with my wipers recently, and now its a big problem. Well one night i was driving and my fuse for the wipers blew, i thought no big deal ill just get a new one. I got some fuses and put one in and it blew right away. so i put in another and it lasted a few days then blew one morning. so i then just drove around with a blown fuse until last night cuz it was raining bad. i put in like 2 fuses and they kept blowing, so i drove home with no wipers, what a pain in the ***. on the way home i stopped at an auto part store and bought some more fuses hoping i could make it. i went out to my car and put one in. it didnt blow! but the wipers wont move. i turned the **** to every position and nothing. today when i got home i put a voltmeter in the fuse hole and its getting power so im stumped.

ITS GONNA RAIN ALL WEEKEND!!!!!

Any help is much appretiated guys Thanks Alot.

Do NOT do this...unless your trying to start a fire.

Is it just the wipers? or did anything else quit working?
First thing you need to do is check to make sure EVERYTHING is still working.

Have a short somewhere, find it.

Don't buy a w/motor unless you're 100% sure it's fried.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, im gonna check it out when i get home. Yes the wipers are the only thing that dont work. on a side note, a few days before this happened my wipers started to move a little like an inch on thier own without me turning them on. kinda like a twitch, but from the wipers.
