HI -

Nice to hear someone ready to learn and try.

Do what Rob suggests, oxidized fuses cause really wierd electrical thigs.

The wipers and the stereo are not on the same fuse, but they are on the same ignition key position. Power in Position I and II.

That clue points to the ignition switch. Next time the problem occurs see what happens if you move the very very slightly one way or the other.

Good Luck,

Bob
