Cheers guys,

This morning I switched in the other spare fuse box I have (condition unknown) and at first all was ok. Turned the fan on, it ran and nothing blew. Turned it off and tried the wipers, right away the fuse blew and the gas guage went dead and the amp light came on. Didn't get a chance to test the signals, hooked up a 30amp jump (didn't have any 25's) on the #1 terminals and the same thing happened when I tried the wipers.

So I have a feeling either theres a short in the wiper wiring somewhere or the switch is toast, I have some spares so I'll see if that is the culprit before I start getting into the wiring harness. I'll clean and solder up one of the fuse boxes regardless while I'm at it.

Thanks for the advice so far, will let you know what happens next.

C.
