Check the actual fuse connections... (how I know)...
My 90q had the turn signals and wipers quit one night. Next day was a 1000km drive home... in the rain. Following weekend I tore everything apart... testing continuity, swapping spares, etc etc... nothing seemed to work. Occasionally the wipers would function, signals would kick on, etc...
In my frustration, I had shut off the lights in the shop (switch was right beside the fuse box), and the wipers tried to cycle... and I spotted the arc.
Fuse was fine... the little connectors in the fuse box has seperated and weren't making contact. HOURS AND HOURS of diagnosing/testing/swapping... 20 seconds to pull the fuse, grab a small flathead screwdriver, bend the contacts in the fuse box, and reinsert the fuse. worked fine.
Still working to this day... 5 years later.
No ignition switch replaced. No turn signal stalk replaced. No relays replaced.

The ignition switch was cracked an melted. Pretty sure faulty trunk wiring is causing the wiper/signal fuse to blow, and will mess up the new switch as well I'm sure. Had it all working for about 2 seconds. Time to to get working on the wiring...
