Default wiper fuses

Has anyone here had a problem with the wiper fuse (30 amp) blowing out too often? Like every couple of weeks or so.
The dealer changed my wiper motor ,but now it still does it.
Always in the middle of driving in the rain!

I'm sorry the dealer hasn't fixed it yet..
replace the fuse,
w/ wipers on wash the engine compartent,
slowly with a slow stream of water...
the wiper module/motor assem are known to leak at times...
if the fuse pops take it to the dealer and tell them what you found....

udriveslow knows his stuff, however it might be your car telling you to not drive it in the rain.

My C6 was built 10/04. 18,000 miles, I have turned the wipers on once, the day I picked it up from the dealer. Not even sure they still work!!

The first time my wipers quit working I replaced the fuse and all was well. A month later they quit working when leaving the dealership. They wound up replacing the BCM. Those were the only two times I've had the car in the rain. I got the hint.
