R33 Windscreen Wiper Problem

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

The front windscreen wiper keeps blowing fuses, oddly only when i am driving and with the wipers off. Otherwise they seem to work fine when the car is stationary. So i suspect the wiring is shorting out somewhere.

I noticed a bit of loom that is under the power steering fluid reservoir running from the windscreen motor to the headlight somewhere. Would anyone know if its part of the windscreen wiper circuit? Part of that loom has had the electrical tape melted since it sits quite close to the turbo hot side.

I thought the motor might have shorts but it is ok. Had a look at the relay board, looks ok.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Disconnect the motor and try again. Long story short it could be the self parking mechanism inside the motor shorting out. It has constant power to it at all times.

I can't think besides an earth for the motor why it would run that way.

I should have mentioned that i did that. Unplugged the motor and went for a drive, fuse was fine. Its doing the same thing though with the other 2nd hand motor i have. I'll see tomorrow when i strip away the tape and can check the wiring out. Cheers.

So doesn't blow fuses unplugged. but blows when both connected?

Tbh I don't exactly know on a 33 as mine hasn't played up. better check that melted section
