My windshield wipers & reverse lights won't work. Fuse keeps blowing.

I wan't to do it myself. I am a starving student. Wiper motor is fine. I drove around with the front fog lamps on and didn't realize it. I think that is when something grounded/shorted out. I need to know how to find it. When I did bring it to shop they told me it was my wiper motor. It wasn't! I don't have $100's $ to spend. They wanted to replace the wiper motor for over $300. when that was not even the problem! Thanks, Suzy

Thank you. I don't think that it blows as soon as I put it in. I think it is when I turn the key because there is no reaction when I plug in the fuse. I put a new fuse in and tried to turn on the windshield wipers and fuse blows. Yeah. I know what you mean, I'll need lot's of fuses! I know that that particular fuse is connected with the windshield wipers, reverse lights and headlight adjustment. Thanks for the advice. I'll look for the circuit wiring and operating description. Hopefully I'll nail it down before the rainy season ; )

Maybe start by unplugging the wiper motor , maybe the place that said it was the wiper motor was on to something.
