in my 77 i keep blowing the wiper fuse, i looked in my wiring diagram i have and no fuse size suggested,, does anyone know the proper fuse size for my motor? 3 terminal non-intermitant

Isn't it printed on the fuse box?? I would think no more than 15 to 20 amps on that one. What size do you keep blowing? Check for loose connections, bad grounds, etc. before changing the fuse again.

well it had a 3 amp in it which blew, i knew it wasnt that small of an amperage so i put a 5 amp in and it blew too, so i put a 10 in and it works but i dont want a fire in my dash. just trying to make certain before i go operating the things a lot.

There's no way you're going to have a fire in your dash with a 10 amp. A 3 to 5 amp couldn't even keep up with the load of the wiper motor, I'm sure.
