[R129 SL] Windscreen wiper/fuse blowing Issue

[RLinsdell at aol.com]

Just for closure and my thanks to George as he was spot on with the cause  of 
my fuse blowing Iif you recall at approx 160 degrees on the first wipe of the 
 wipers the fuse blew. This was caused by the spindle and gears needing some  
greasing. As George correctly suggested the additional torque needed from the 
 motor drew additional current this blowing the fuse. My friends at the local 
MB  garage also told me they would  take a look at the relay as this is quite 
 frequently the cause so they tell me. But on this occasion they found it was 
a  stiff mechanism. I cannot remember who suggested using a bigger fuse as a  
solution to my problem but this is never advisable, fuse sizes are selected 
for  a specific reason and using a larger amp rated fuse could result in 
serious  damage to the electrics.
 
Thanks
