Didn't anyone tell you they aren't supposed to be driven in the rain?

Here is a pic of my 93 fuse box diagram, looks like there is a 30 amp fuse on the top row for the wipers.

Bottom left corner is VATS, to it's right, is a 25 amp wiper fuse.

Make sure your wipers aren't binding or something's otherwise preventing them from deploying.

During the winter months, I've seen cases where they were frozen to the glass by ice and snow and the fuse blew when the motor experienced an electrical load it couldn't overcome.
