Wiper Motor

29 Oct 2005, 9:46pm
Has anyone had a problem with wiper motors and earthing on chassis.

Our wiper motor is blowing fuse when earthed on chassis, it produces 24volts on fast speed which is normal on the slow speed wire, what we can't work out is why it's producing it through the motor body aswell ??

Any ideas ??

It must be wired wrong, you must have a feed on the earth side of motor which won't cause a problem until you ground the body, recheck your wires big-fella.
