- VR II Ute
Today I was driving my VR ute and i turned on the wipers and heard the fuse blow. I changed the fuse and noticed it shares the same fuse as the indicators. Anway I started her up and tried the wipers only to hear the fuse blow again. I tried a 3rd time with a heavier fuse and still the same thing. Now I have no wipers or indicators and I live in cairns where it is currently raining most of the time. FML.
I have checked all the indicator bulbs and they are fine (the hazzard lights still work btw..) I had a quick look around the fuse box under the steering wheel and cannot see any shorts/breaks in any wires. The plastic cover below the window that covers the wiper motor was replaced about 18months ago when i bought the car with a brand new one.. so there is no chance water could have shorted the motor.
I have not had any trouble with the wipers/indicators in the past so i have no idea what is causing this.
Has anyone had a similar problem before and knows of a fix? Any help on where to look or what to replace would be great.
Thanks
