Yes, all fuses were "pulled" and tested with a multimeter

Also listen for a clicking sound. There is an auto resetting fuse in the rear wiper assembly: if it is drawing too much current, this *should* intervene and stop the wiper dead in its tracks. Once the fuse cools off, it will continue to (try to) move.
Mine consumed 7 ampere before cleaning and greasing and 0.7A after... (Note to self: go find the darn pics already so you can update your post about the repair from >5 years ago!!!) |

Reviving yet again.
My rear wiper is constantly blowing the fuse. I have checked the cables that run from the tailgate and the body and they are all in good order - visibly at least. When I put a new fuse in, the wiper runs for 20 seconds or so and then the fuse blows. I have already replaced the motor unit as the previous one went kaput. Any thoughts on where the problem lies? |

It can pretty much only be a faulty motor (again).
It must be pulling excessive current, which blows the fuse. If you have a clamp DC ammeter with peak-hold, you could see how much current it's drawing. I assume when you replaced the motor, you replaced the whole mechanism in one go? It's likely that the shaft through the screen is corroded, causing extra friction, which results in excessive current. Lubricating it with silicone spray *might* help, but I suspect replacement is the only proper cure.
