oh yeh, my spray doesnt work now either[/align]

 

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. It'seither your wiring oryour motor. Autozone sells them for $60, with a $30 core charge(if you bring your old motor back they give you the $30 back) so i changed mine in their parking lot. Worked just fine after i installed a new motor.

 

If you turned on the motor, and the wipers were frozen to the window, and all you did was shut the wipers off, I'd say you burned out a motor. The wipers will still try to swipe before they park again.

You should pull the fuse in that situation. Disconnect the wiring harness to the motor, and install a new fuse. If it doesn't blow, you have motor problems. If it still pops the fuse, more than likely you have a hot wire that has rubbed thru it's insulation and is grounding out, resulting in a direct short.

Hope this helps.

Good luck with your ride.
