Windshield wipers

Adrian17 · May 12, 2017

Tried to put an aftermarket stereo on my truck and used the windshield wiper fuse as power, had everything grounded as needed but now the wipers are very slow. Even at the highest setting it is still too slow. Any ideas to what could have happened?

Sorry, the glass was just to dry and creating frisction poured water on it and they work fine, now do you guys think its a problem to use the fuse as a power source? I read about people using it.

Why not use the original radio fuse location

Did you hook main power to it? Or the key 12v power? I hooked the 12v key power to a bare prong in the bcm that has power when turn key on

I bought a wiring harness adapter that just plugged into the stock GM radio plug, and provided a fused 10 amp power supply for my Pioneer radio. And it also supports RAP.

Bare prong as in a spot that no fuse? All i did was wrap the wire around the prong of the fuse and pushed it back in, i dont like that set up but i needed the radio working that same day so i did, and yes it only comes on when the key is turned.
