there is a connector what connects to the wiper motor. Disconnect this, put in your fuse, then we can tell if it is a troubled motor. If it is troubled, you can juice it with twelve breakered volts (like from a small charger) and see if it is really shorting, or just needs to be hit with a hammer once or twice.

The wiring harness shorting might be a problem. These don't usually go bad by themselves but if caught or abraded by a heavy object can lose the insulation and start shorting. Really could not point you to this phenomenon as it hasn't come up for me. My wiring problems have always been opens, wires that don't seem to lead anywhere, etc...

I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty, a few days ago my wipers starting going when I turned the car on (thinking I had hit it) I looked to notice the switch was off. Hmm. Then I noticed my blinkers weren't working nor would my headlights turn off. My husband took out the fuse for my wipers so I could drive safely especially since it wasn't raining. I took it to the Jeep dealership this am at 8:00 am and was told it would cost at least $120 to test and could take about 4 to 6 hours. plus the labor and parts. 5 answers
