98 cherokee 4.0

Alright so i was riding behind the convoy the other night and my rear wiper quit working. Im ocd about my wipers gotta have it working!

Noticed its snapping fuses like its nothing. Only in for the rear wiper fuse however. Unplugged the wiper motor and still snapping them. Is there a wiring diagram somewhere on here for it or maybe a relay?

I hooked a wire todo both terminals for a sec to see if i notice anything and terminal started glowing and melting the wire on the left side ( side closer to the engine )

any imput guys? gonna check the boot where the hatch opens but it looked okay earyler

 

Noticed when i hook up that the rear hatch does the lock trys to engage.

 

If the fuse blow when you put in a new one you have a short. I would start be checking in the rubber boot that goes from the lift gate to the cabin. A very common place for the wires to break and short.

 

Was looking nothing yet. But now its only the rear hatch going when i give it power. Thanks tho
