No power

There is a cycling circuit breaker on or inside a wiper switch ( varies with model ). It will click as it cycles due to a short circuit although its supposed to only cycle when the wipers are frozen to the glass. How many times it cycles before it fails completely is anyones guess. It don't know when to give up. Meanwhile this short circuit is fecking with other parts and pieces throughout electrical system.
My guess... the one initial fault has caused another.
