Electrical System — Wiring — Fuses And Circuit Breakers

Summary
The windshield wiper and washer system contains an incorrect 6 amp circuit breaker instead of the 8.25 amp circuit breaker. If the system is heavily loaded, as in the case of a partially dry windshield, the motor current may exceed the 6 amp breaker"S capacity. This would cause the breaker to open, which would result in wiper/washer failure.
Actions
Dealer will install the correct circuit breaker without charge to owner.
