If its burning the fuses its because something its wrong with your windshield wiper motor...
first, disconnect the motor and insert a new fuse..
if the fuse blow then you have a problem with the wiring ...

Suggested Repair
Disconnect the windshield wiper motor and install a new fuse. If the fuse still blows, the wiring is at fault. If it holds, the wiper motor is faulty and should be replaced.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 1985 Honda Accord says the 15-amp windshield wiper fuse has started blowing and asks whether the circuit can be bypassed and powered directly from the battery. The expert says a blown fuse indicates a fault and recommends disconnecting the wiper motor, then installing a new fuse. If the fuse blows with the motor disconnected, the wiring is the problem; if it does not, the motor is faulty and needs replacement.
