What causes a 2011 Chevy Aveo to blow the same fuse repeatedly?

I changed a blown wiper fuse and within a week it is blown again.

LeeAnne, if it is only the wiper, it is possible that your motor is defective. It might be drawing to much power and causing the fuse to blow. Of course, make sure that you have a fuse with the correct amperage. you could test the motor with an ammeter and see what the result is. Also, make sure that your linkage is not getting stuck, or is rusting, or otherwise binds, causing the motor to draw to much current.

If the wiper get rusted or wear or get jamed, it act as a heavy load to your motor so it consumes high current, hence the fuse will blow. Since your fuse blown after 1 week only may be no problem in your motor. Check your wiper and try to change it.
