I have a 2006 cadillac cts which the fuse keeps blowing when I operate the windshield wipers. What could be the cause?

Either the wiper motor is bad, there is a dead short in the wiring, or the switch itself if bad. Unplug the motor to see if it still happens. IF it does, then the short is before the motor. Work your way back in that manner until you find where the problem is.
