iv had to fit a new wiper motor and everytime i connect it up, it blows the fuse, iv tried 3 motors and 3 swirch and each time the same thing happens. iv connected them the numerous different ways but to no avail. can someone check there own or a manual and let me know what goes where.

from the wiper motot ther is 3 plugs:

1 double plug with 2 black and purple wires and 1 brown wire going into it.

 

1 double plug with 3 brown wires

 

and then red green and brown wires going to the plug that attaches to the switch with a single blue wire coming out of the back of the switch.

I started typing it all out but figured this might help more. Assuming you're talking about 2 speed escort wipers,

 

In the first pic:

A7 is the foot switch

A4 is the two speed wiper switch

 

And in the second:

M4 is the wiper motor

i connected just the wipers the way you said and all was ok, when i then connected the wires for the wash wipe it started to blow the fuse again, i think the wires on the wash wipe have chaffed through, which iv been told is a common thing???????, so im just not connecting the wash wipe for now, its easy enough to flick your wipers on yourself when you spray the washers, so that'll do for now, at 6ft and 17 stone squeezing under an escy dash upside down gets old pretty quick , so for now im more than happy
