Windshield wiper fuse
Hey all. My windshield wipers just stopped working today. Heavy snow. Me being lazy, I just turned them on instead of brushing away the excess snow. My wiper went about halfway across, then stopped. And now, the wipers won't go at all. But I don't think I burned out the motor or anything cause the spray doesn't work and the rear-defrost doesn't work either. I'm assuming they're all on the same fuse, which I've now blown. I need to know how to change out the fuse (bonus points for any and all extra info that could help me out, as in what brand of fuses to get, etc) Thanks in advance.

The fuses are located in the engine compartment on the right side. First, unlatch the front cover latch, then use a flat head screwdriver to pry the large metal rear latch up. Then squeeze the large metal rear latch to disengage it from the hinge. Lift and angle the cover forward, towards the engine bay.
The fuse for the wiper is #20. But it also tells you on the front cover of the fuse box. Youll need to replace the fuse with a 16ARed fuse.
I recommend replacing all the fuses with "glass" type fuses. You can buy them at any local auto parts stores.

I found it and replaced it. But I replaced it with the red type fuse, not the glass type. Why do you recommend the glass type? what's the advantage?
