What causes a windshield wiper to refuse to move?
Actually, a wiper assembly that refuses to move might have a simple blown fuse. But usually fuses don’t blow on their own. Even at full stall, the current draw of the motor should be well below the fuse’s rating.
What happens if the wiper relay is damaged?
The wiper relay is unique in that it’s found inside the wiper control handle which often has selector switches giving drivers multiple settings for their windshields. Over a period of time, this relay can be damaged – which will impact the operation of the windshield wiper system and in some cases, render it useless.
Why does my windshield wiper motor keep blowing fuses?

What should I use to reassembly my windshield wipers?
Reassembly should be straightforward. Lubricate all moving parts, using silicone grease on rubber pieces. (Avoid using petroleum-based grease on rubber parts—it will deteriorate them.) Some wiper arms have a friction fit to the wiper post. To position the arms correctly, briefly cycle the power to the wipers to park them.
