Civic wipers not working

87 Civic SI, 199000 miles. Wipers were working, stopped at a store, restart car and wipers don't work and fuse was blown. Replaced fuse and tried wipers again and the fuse blew immediately. Replaced motor and fuse and retried wipers. No luck and fuse blown again. Any ideas?

The switch for this is in the steering column and is easy to get at and it is easy to replace or take apart. I would take it apart and look at it. I have done this several times and had good luck with repairing it. Mostly for the ones I have taken apart a good cleaning and everything went back together and worked fine.
