94 Wiper problems
I have a 94 ZR-1 that the wipers ran for about an hour and half and stopped 1/2 way across my windshield. I just purchased it today and drove it 4 hours in the rain without wipers.... any suggestions to start out with?

First.....CHECK FUSES
First and Always if something electrically powered stops during operation.......check Fuses....this is a 91' ZR-1 fuse panel on right side of glove box. The Wiper is a 25 AMP fuse lower row. That is probably the longest time those wipers have EVER been on and then with old rubber in the wiper blades....a very BIG load on the wiper motor
I would get new, fresh, soft rubber in the wiper blades.
And carry some extra fuses with you (5, 10, 15, and 25 AMP).

Likely more than the wiper usage of ALL the 91's collectively!
Most don't even know if they work!
Great response with all the detail!

Could be anything including the stalk switch and wiring ...
If it's not something simple, you'll need the service manual, especially section 8 with all the electrical diagrams.
