Renault Scenic 2 - wipers stopped working - marimaur

my wipers on my scenic 2 stopped working, I checked and replaced the 25

amp fuse in the fusebox under the bonnet but it blew up again as soon I turned on the ignition, I removed the wiper motor and connection changed the fuse again but as soon as I turn the ignition on with the wiper switch off the fuse blows again. the windscreen wash and rear wiper which are operated by same switch still work. It's probably a short circuit but where?

Instead of you keep blowing the fuse and causing more damage you need a AVO meter to find the short a dead short if it takes a 25 amp fuse instantly also you need to check the wiper relay for a short on the coil.

thanks for taking interest in my problem,but the problem is that I'm not sure where the relay is,even the Haynes manual doesn't give a clear indication if it lies in the multiplex module or somewhere else.Thank again.
