    My 2015 prius c has a short circuit on my rear window wiper which starts working nonstop once I switch on the engine. It used to do it on and off but recently it just doesn't stop until I switch off the battery switch.

    I got only one electrician estimate of $200 just for diagnosis. It's ridiculous this rip off. So until I will troubleshoot with somebody more affordable I decided to pull out the correct fuse number.
    Can somebody tell me which fuse do I need to pull out and if there will be any side effects to consider.

    Thank you!!

    Maybe you can use the Report button and ask the mod to change your thread title to something like "rear wiper always on when car is".

    "Short circuit" means a specific kind of fault (whose chief symptom is often a violently-blown fuse).

    I don't have the wiring diagram for Prius c handy. This page explains ways to get it:
