I mentioned this in another longwinded post from a debacle, but since I haven't got any answers, I thought I'd isolate it here.
I replaced the wiper linkage since it froze up a while back. Now it works, but blows the 20 amp #24 fuse when I switch it to high. It appears to be a little sluggish and/or labored compared to what I recall before it froze up on me. I changed the fuse after it blew on my first test and it blew it again when I tried it on high a little later--it was even audible when it blew (browned the plastic on the inside of the fuse on the second one). It doesn't blow when I spray windshield fluid either. It also didn't blow when I would cycle it to high when it first froze up. It would just try to move for a few seconds and stop (just moving the arms a couple millimeters from it halfway through position on the windshield).
Thanks!
