What kind of Fuse do you use for a 1995 Jeep wrangler window wiper and where is it?

The 1995 Jeep Wrangler's window wiper fuse isn't a single, easily identifiable fuse like "the wiper fuse". The wiper motor's circuit is likely protected by multiple fuses, and possibly a relay. The specific fuses involved depend on whether you have intermittent wipers and other options.

To find the correct fuse(s):

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual will have a fuse box diagram showing which fuse(s) are responsible for the wipers. It will also usually indicate the amperage of the fuses.

2. Locate the fuse boxes: The 1995 Wrangler typically has several fuse boxes:

* Under the hood: This is the most likely location for the main fuses related to power distribution.

* Inside the passenger compartment: Often located under the dashboard, sometimes in the glove box area, or under a panel near the steering column.

3. Examine the fuse box diagrams: Once you've located the fuse box(es), carefully examine the diagrams printed on the inside of the cover. Look for fuses labeled as related to "wipers," "windshield wipers," "washers," or similar terms. Also look at related circuits such as power to the wiper switch itself.

4. Check the fuses visually: Look for blown fuses (a broken filament inside the fuse). If you find a blown fuse, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage. Using a higher amperage fuse is dangerous and can cause a fire.

Important Considerations:

* Relay: The wiper motor itself might be controlled by a relay. A bad relay can cause wiper malfunction even if the fuses are intact. The relay is typically a square black box, often located near the fuse boxes.

* Wiper Switch: A faulty wiper switch can also prevent the wipers from working. This is less likely but is another potential problem.

* Wiring: Damaged or corroded wiring in the wiper motor circuit can also cause problems.

Without your owner's manual, I can't give you the exact fuse location and rating. Always consult the owner's manual first.
