Question

Hi, I have an '89 Buick LeSabre. The wipers stalled the other day due due to snow getting packed in the wiper parking area. They are completely dead now. The owner's manual says that the wipers are protected by a fuse and a circuit breaker. They only tell you where the fuse is and not the breaker. The fuse is good. With the key on and the wiper switch in all different positions, I could not find any power going to the wiper motor/mechanism (about 8 wires). One guy I talked to said the wiper switch might be bad, but I can't believe there's a 25 AMP circuit on that switch. Can you help me? It's a fair weather only car right now. Thanks.Gerry

It sounds like a bad switch. Power comes from the fuse and goes through the switch and then to the wiper motor.
