Winshield wiper HELP!!
I have a 02' Coupe, and the wipers have stopped working on it. I've replaced a blown fuse twice and only get about 5 mins of them working before it blows again. I'm not sure what else to try next and my dad thinks that maybe the wiper motor is on it's way out. Any help is greatly appreciated as it's supposed to rain here all weekend and this is my DD

Update:
We replaced the motor today, and get a little functionality of it now, but they still aren't working properly. The motor acts like it wants to kick on, but only on the highest setting and it only lasts for a few seconds. It'll do this a few times and then blows the fuse again and again. We're at a loss on what it could be besides the switch on the column now, so that's next on our list to fix. Any other ideas are welcome though

I've replaced the wiper motor twice now, and I'm still having a problem with the wipers just turning themselves off at random times and it blowing fuses every other time I use them and turn the car off. I just replaced the battery as well, and it's still happening. My dad has taken it into the dealer the last 3 weeks and they say they can't find anything wrong with it and they refuse to replace the switch cause they say they don't fail as often as people think. We're at a loss here with trying to figure out what is going on here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
