on my 1987 B250 the wipers stopped working. i checked the fuse and it was blown so i replaced it. i tried the wipers again and the fuse blew again. i checked all the connections and they all seamed to be good so i tried replacing the fuse again. it blew. i can't tink of anything else that it could be other than the motor. any suggestions?

The motor itself is one possibility. Another might be some sore of binding or resistance in the wiper linkage. Or possibly a short in the wireing somewhere.
Can you either remove the motor or dis-connect the linkage from it? That way you should be able to try running the motor again with out any load on it. If it still blows fuses with no load on it I would say its either a short or the motor itself is bad.

More than likely the problem is in your switch or at the connector to your switch. Regardless you have a direct short when you go to use your wipers. Get a DVOM buy one borrow one what ever. Then check to see if the switch is shorting internally with the DVOM by checking for continuity across and between terminals on your switch.
