Eric, I can't believe I actually found myself screaming at the phone screen saying 'Stop, please stop. I got it. ' lol. you seemed to repeat the same thing over and over and kept touching the wiper stalk over and over. I'm sorry, not trying to be a troll or anything, but you should cut about 1min of that video out on the diagnosis explaination. But, I think the problem will be the wiper arm mechanism under the cowl is rubbing on a wiring harnesses. How that is causing the engine and entire car to lose power is beyond me. Why it's causing a major short to ground is weird. I'm sorry. Not a hater at all, I know it's a very Interesting case study, but over, and over, and over. I'm sorry. Must be my time of month.

i had all them symptoms. turned out to be a bad ground---took forever to find it but when i did. omfg i was so happy. even went as far as calling an electrical tech. he said he'd start under the dash. turned out to be the braided wire from the trany to the fire wall it was f'ed half way up but the ends looked great --everytime i fix something myself i buy a nice 8 year old rum to celebrate. i'm gonna say thats a bad ground --personaly i'd throw a self tapping screw through that wiper panel as well as check that damn braided wire.

There's a problem with getting parts even for relatively common cars from junkyards as Chevy's know to use different things even in the same year make and model. I've noticed the Cobalt's are lasting on the roads and sticking around like the Chevy Cavaliers even though these Cobalt's were supposed to replace the Cavaliers

LOL, love the briefing of the problem. I swapped the little boxes, this apparently coming from another shop mechanic.
I would hear things like this all the time from DIYers, who had no clue, knew they had no clue, but persisted in poking around anyway.

I spit a mouthful of cereal when he said, they replaced a 10-amp fuse with a 25-amp fuse because thats apparently what they do, laughing as I cleaned up the mess it made. So damn funny. I love his dry delivery.

My guess before I watch the next part: Bad collision work, the lower cowl needs to be attached to the upper section to properly ground the fuse box. A sheet metal screw or two will fix the problem lady.

That is one of cheap Chevrolet engineer from all over the place that just thrown whatever cheap to get the car in the market with BS advertising. It's a weird car with all kinds of engineering issues.
