A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
Took to mechanic and told mechanic that I was going to replace wiper motor myself but was afraid that maybe it was the integrated thing (FUSE BOX). He called me that day and said it was the wiper motor and he could replace for $285.00, includes the $50.00 diagnosis fee. Calls me back later same day and tells me its the fuse box which I EXPLICITLY told him to check before replacing motor. He burns up the new motor as soon as he turns it on before he checks the fuse box.
All of these complaints and it seems like water got inside the fuse box. Then I find out that Chrysler changed the design of the fuse box twice )MAYBE ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE IN PART DUE TO WATER GETTING IN THE FUSE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know. Now I cannot even find a used one on the East coast, maybe because they have all been taken out of the wrecked PT,s that probably wrecked as a result of HAVING WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when the fuse box failed.
