Re: windshield wipers won't work & blow fuses 200 88

Ross --

I couldn't agree more about the relays -- I've simply tucked them up under the dash, making sure the harness doesn't get tangled in the wiper mechanism.

Another comment -- the uninitiated might do something drastic with the wiper actuator arm and pop the cables off the pulleys. Have you ever tried putting them back on? You'll find words you never realized you knew!

I've had good luck lubricating the shafts by removing the wiper arm and removing the "C" clip. Then you can push the shaft in perhaps 1/4" inch and oil inside the housing. The oil will seep down between the shaft and housing.

Then pull the shafts back, install the clips, and install the wiper arms.

Drilling the holes makes me uneasy (although I've never tried that way).
