I have a y reg 2001 peugeot 406 2l petrol estate ,the 20 amp fuse protecting my windscreen wipers has started blowing when i switch the control to auto rain sensor it did on three occasions . any ideas please also should i take it to a main dealer for diagnosis and any repair. ps i put a 30 amp fuse in it and it blew that one after a while . seems ok if i switch wipers to manul positions.

Firstly, Dont put a 30 amp fuse in place of a 20 amp one, Fire risk!

Have you tried unplugging the rain sensor & then seeing if the fuse still blows?

The rear view mirror & housing should slide off the metal clip so you can get at the connector plug on the rain sensor & unplug it.
