Is my wiper motor shot?
While driving through NC this evening in heavy rain, heading back to NJ after my IMS retrofit in GA, my wipers stopped working. I pulled off at the next exit and immediately checked the (25A) fuse and it was blown. I popped in a new fuse and it blew immediately. Then I ran over to Walmart and bought a microfiber cloth and a bottle of Rain-X, took advantage of a break in the rain to apply it, and was on my way.
Everything else electrical is working fine, from what I can tell. I'm still en route and can't really take time until this weekend for serious diagnosis.
Do you guys think it's the wiper motor or a faulty ignition switch? I'm betting it's a short in the motor.
If it's the motor, do you suggest new or remanufactured, if one's actually available? Anyone know of a cross VW/Audi cross-reference?
Thanks,
Gary
