hi every one i have been non stop trying to fix my windshield wipers for my 2g and it is useless. i have looked over and over made one other post and nothing seems to help or work i just bought a new light / windshield switch and new motor for them and greased up the parts . and bought new fuses and put them in and the second i turn the key on it blows a fuse every time i don't even have time to see if they are working!
Now i would like to fix this as i have not had them to work for over a year and i am stumped have no idea what to look for or how to i just need some real help and some real stuff please ?

thanks for hearing me out.

Sounds like a short to me that's the only thing that would blow fuses like that check connections and wires for anything broke or sliced. Prob a power wire that is grounding out

If it is blowing the fuse than you have a short to ground in the circuit. Most like this is from a bare wire. Buy a multimeter and start testing for continuity to ground.

2g windsheild wipers.

Here is some "real help and some real stuff..."
Review the info in this link. If the fuse blows when you first turn the key, I would unplug the wiper switch and the wiper motor and then try the key again. If the fuse DOES NOT blow, then plug in the wiper switch and try again. If still OK then plug in the motor. This will at least give you an idea of where to look. The link above has the wiring diagrams so you can troubleshoot the circuit. (It could also be the 'windshield intermittent wiper relay', it is in the steering column, see the link for location)

Hope this helps...
