WOW everything works now...!!!?!?!?

Well the other day my rear wiper just stopped wiping... Just to add to all that was going wrong with my car but my transmission was working just fine.

Things that were wrong...

1. ABS light was on (abs computer was not reading out code)
2. Power steering didn't work too well or at all sometimes
3. rear wiper broke
4. Thump in AWD

What did i do to fix it all your asking??
I looked at the fuses where the code checker is (the lower kicker panel) and noticed the fuse was burnt out for the wiper and ABS cruise, replaced them both and all that above is now working.... Amazing.... I learned it is smart to check the stuipid stuff first.

yup - i removed and disassembled a rear wiper motor and gearbox on a previous car only to find the problem was a loose nut holding the wiper arm on.

The question still remains, why did the fuses burn out in the first place?

yeah, right after i got my svx the rear wiper would only work about half the time, then i finally realized that the trunk kept closing on the tip of the wiper . so i just repositioned the wiper on the threads and fixed it

i have no clue how they burnt out... the abs one day i was driving in a bad storm and the water was high, not sure if that did it but the abs light went on. The rear wiper broke beucase there was snow buildup on the back window and it got stuck and couldn't push it clear.
