I just recently bought a pristine 1992 300D (only 211k miles!) and one week into our honeymoon the wipers stopped working. I have searched all the threads I can find on this site, (I'm a newby to the Benz forum) but could not find anything specific to my model year. I removed and replaced the wiper motor ($200 ouch) thinking it was bad but it was not. The fuse blows only when the wiper control is set to position I (intermitent), everything works fine in positions II and III. Before I go out and spend more money on parts I don't need, does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing the fuse to blow at low speeds? Is there a wiper relay that could be bad? If so which one and where is it? Could the wiper control stalk be shorted? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
