ill move it for you this time, but it sounds to me like you have a short in the system, or a bad seal int he wiring somehow, time to start tracing wires and see if you can find a short. (it could be internal to the wiper motor if its intermittent)

inventory. Federal law requires you to stop sale and complete this recall
service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this
