This morning my windshield wipers decided not to work. So did the cigarette lighter socket. Not to mention the radio. Ughhh...

Check #8 fuse. Also check your relay.

I live just north of Asheville so if you need anything while in town.

Wiper, cig lighter and fresh air fan are on that same fuse. Next time your wipers stop working check the cig lighter or Fresh air fan; if they work, it's not the fuse.

Jims right - my fan only works on one setting, if it gets off one or theother then it causes overload and shorts the circuit pops that fuse. I now have a new fuse block with the blade fuses and I have the ones that light if it blows so I can tell easily if one pops- I will be your fan may have shorted the fuse -but maybe it just got bumped and is just off a bit?
This is also why I have RainX on my windshield- helps a lot if the wipers don't work!

Thanks for your responses - yesterday before leaving GSMNP and entering Blue Ridge Parkway, I checked all my fuses with all looking good. I even replaced 8, 9, & 10 with no change. This morning before my tour, I rechecked the fuses and all looked good. This afternoon, started the car to head back to the hotel, wipers wiped, radio lit up, cig socket working. I'll never understand this electrical stuff!!

My fuses were also not bad. I did swap relays around after my wipers/fresh air fan were intermittently working. After the swap they now work all the time, every time.

I'll change out mine once I get back home, thanks.
