Yesterday after work I put in a cleaned up and re-soldered fuse box with a nice blade fuse holder all proper like, blew some fuses and narrowed it down to the wipers somewhere. No fuse blew with the fan & signal + lights on.


This morning I put a spare wiper switch on and blew another fuse, once under the dash I found the issue pretty quick. The wires from the switch to the wiper motor were jammed between the wiper arm assembly and part of the dash structure, I figure it had been in between the two for a while slowly getting cut till it shorted out. I cut and fixed the wires, re-routed them away from the wiper assembly and problem solved.

Thanks for the help and fuse box advice, thankfully it was an easy fix.
Heres a pic of the redone fuse box & fuse holder. What kind of grease should I get for the terminal connections and what are the proper amp fuses for terminals 2-3-4?
