So I popped fuse #9 which serves the wipers and the radio. I hardly use either, so that was a little surprising. I put in a new fuse and went for a drive. Almost immediately I started smelling smoke. I pulled over and pulled the fuse out and finished my ride with no smoke. I got home and checked the wiring, and it looks like the smoke was coming from the fuse panel itself as there is a little bit of discoloring at a terminal.
I jumped the fuse with an amp meter to measure amps. With just the radio everything was ok. With the radio off, I turned on the wipers and my amp meter blew! So I am thinking something is wrong with my wiper motor or switch. So my question is... Where do I start? I have no idea what to do next to isolate the problem. Help!
