I came home from work Wednesday morning. It was sleeting, snowing, hailing.
The height of the "Blizzard" I parked in my driveway. I shut the "EX" off with the wipers in the Left hand position, pulled the blades off the windshield.
The blades were sticking straight up, like when you change to a NEW SET of blades.

I thought that this would prevent the blades from getting FROZEN to my windshield. It also made it easier to clean the windshield, once the Blizzard was over.

Thursday morning I went out to clean off the car, winshield clean, lowered the blades back onto the windshield, fired up the "EX"... 8 degrees outside.

Now the "WIPERS WILL NOT WORK"

I cleaned all the ice and snow all around the base of the blades... NOTHING.

I checked the FUSE, it's good. Wiper Fluid still works,

NO WIPERS:thumbdwn:


What am I missing here ?:confused:
