1997 LeSabre Frozen Wipers

[timmynp]

When I shut off my car, I left the wipers up on the windshield. Freezing rain came next. As I started the car, the wipers wouldn't come loose and, even after freeing them up, they no longer work. I couldn't find a blown fuse. Any ideas, anyone? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum..

Proubbly a fuse often a breaker fuse. Gets hot and then works when cold.
It depends on the year of the car. Oh I see 97'
Do you garage it in warm air?
Is it still a bit frozen?
ITs coooold out there in many places.
7 below here tonight..

Newer cars usually prepare by design for these conditions..
Mine failed and started working after a day of warm. Usually from not allowing them to return to home (down tucked away) when I turn off the car.

Someone will post a follow up on your model.
Hang on.


Good Luck

I had chipped away the 6" of sleet and ice but not right around the spindles. After some more chipping away last night and some deicer, they're working again. I feel like an idiot - they were just frozen in place!!
