I just bought an 86 gt. A couple days later it rained and I found out I have no wipers!!!! I checked the fuses and I thought they looked fine. So I went and bought a new wiper motor and after the install I went to kick on the wipers and nothing.

I checked the fuse and it was popped. So I figured I had overlooked the fuse before and went ahead and put in a new one. Once again I tried the wipers and it popped the fuse again. I have checked my grounds on the firewall, and the switch feels nice and tight like its new.

Any Ideas on what I should check next???

follow the lines and look for cracks or breaks. Check for power at the motor with a new fuse. your car is 25 years old, so that is 25 years of people hacking wires.
