hey dudes and dudetes. new to the forum!!
my mx3 keeps blowing front wiper motor fuses. had it at an electrical diagnostic shop and they traced it to a wiper switch, not the multi switch on the control arm. it's under the dash and it's accessable. i want to fix this my self cause the part is $76 dollars and they are going to charge me another $70 to install it.
do any of you know where this wiper motor switch is located and what it looks like??
thanks a bunch
wish i had found this forum a long time ago. been driving my stock mx3 for 8 years and it's been a fantastic car!!

I think I have a similar problem. My wipers will run at full speed even when switched off. I have to pull the fuse out to turn them off. Each time it rains, I have to put it back in. It really sucks if it isnt raining hard, because I have to keep pulling it out and putting it in while I am driving.
That last sentence sounded kind of funny! I am not sure how to fix it, and I havent taken it to a shop yet.

Welcome thando!
Can you be more specific? I don't know of any other switch for the wipers (except the auto park switch which is in the wiper motor). I can't see how a switch would blow fuses either, they usually turn things on or off incorrectly is all...a wiper switch, not the multi switch on the control arm. it's under the dash and it's accessable.
