My windshield was iced over this morning and I scraped most of it off but I got into the car and turned the wipers on. Neither wiper moved. I finished clearing the windshield off and went to try the wipers again and the passenger side moves fine, but now the drivers side only moves up about 3 inches, then moves back down. Did I mess up the motor somehow when turning it on with the wiper stuck? I'd hate to schedule a service visit unless its the only option to fix the problem. Any ideas/thoughts?

 

Don't know how to fix it but do know how to prevent it. Place your windshield wipers in the out position the night before it snows or sleets so this does not happen

 

Wait wait...you had ice in HB? Maybe the car got so used to never seeing it that it cacked out. haha, jk. Turn them on and give it a little tug as it makes its way up. That's about all I can think off.

 

Thanks for the tip sciontcmm, i'll have to do that from now on. ExpressScion, I"m not in huntington right now. I'm in upstate NY for college..haha!
