Wiper Issue
So on my 84 22r, my wipers do not work...I have changed out the switch, wiper motor, and wiper arm switch(on the steering collum). I have checked wires for bad ground and nothing. I put a fuse in and it will work for about 10 secs, then blow...any thoughts?

Ok, so I will be a LITTLE more helpful...
Get a multi-meter from a hardware store if you don't already have one. Look at each place where you can disconnect the wires, and check for a short to ground on the hot side of the path. If the fuse only blows after you have flipped the wiper switch, then the short is between the switch and the motor. If the fuse blows within a few seconds after installing into the fuseblock with the switch off, then the short is between the switch and the fuse.
I hope this gives you at least a jumping off point, post any questions and I will try to help more if needed.

Slight different wiper issue
On my 200 taco sometimes my wipers won't shut off. They'll go fast and faster but not off or intermittent. This only happens on rare occasion when it's REALLY wet out but I kinda want to get this fixed
