rear wiper motor and front washer wiring gremlins

[ryanruggles at uniserve.com (Ryan Ruggles)]

1)    I have been trying to get my rear wiper to work but every time I put a
fuse in it pops when I turn on hte ignition, and pretty violently too.
SHould I just run new wires to it or is this a pretty common problem with an
"easy fix"?


2)    Also I have been trying to get my front window washing pump to work.
It only works once every like 20 times or so.  It seems to be getting power
but maybe weaker than 12v.  I know the pump works because it was working in
the rear.

Cheers
