Hi
Did anyone have problems with their windshield wipers locking up in the up position during
the snow storm couple days ago? I cleared
out the snow from the wipers, but still no
go! Then a few minutes later it just started
up again! Is this normal or a defect??? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


ASJ, my wipers did the same thing twice.Fstop said that there is a overheating sensor that causes this,so it wont burn out.They also shouldnt have made such a deep area around wiper arm that collects alot of snow and ice. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Not an overheating sensor. If the blades stick, the BCM will shut down the motor for a second to cool it down and that answer was to one problem. If there is this big of a problem, then there is more to it then a stuck blade. Sounds like there might be a problem, but I have not heard anything until this forum.
