Technical Wipe fuse blows

[Hharbers]

My 1987 4x4 suddenly starts blowing fuses when using front wiper.
After install wiper it works continuous, interval is not working. After stopping with stalk wiper finishes to resting position and immidiatly blows the fuse.

What to look for?

As far as I remember, there's a wiring diagram in the download section of the forum. I've uploaded the eLearn docs and I'm quite sure there is a part dedicated to the wipers.

Looks like a short circuit to me. Or a blockage somewhere, which makes this high current to blow the fuse.

Might be the wipers lever, might be the motor itself. Might be even the wiper mechanism which is blocking somewhere at the end and can't move further, and the motor is trying to force it.
