wow. i never thoguth this would happen.
heres the story, i started the car last night(the wipers were on and they were frozen to the windshield which i didnt know. i then heard a crackin noise, the next thing i know my wipers will not move whatsoever. once i free them froom they ice they still wont move. now they both move in sync when i move them but both it seems like the motor isnt even moving them.

check the fuse for the wipers. if the fuse is fine then you damaged the linkage

i havent checked the fuse yet but the wipers mnove really easially when i move them myself so my guess is that i damaged the linkage. anyone know how hard of a job that is to do.

appleman

somebody must know how hard it is to get to the linkage

you could pull the motor off the firewall and check behind there, maybe theres a chain and or belt that fell off the motor itself. Or you can pull off the entire assembly along the lower winsheild where the vents are and look in there and make sure everything is ight. If that all looks good then maybe your motor went

Take off the cowl (black thing under where wipers are) and have a look.

If they're both moving in sync, then they have either popped off or worse broken off right at the wiper motor, there should be a ball and pivot arm (linkage) on from the motor, I'd suggest you check there. When you turn on the wipers do your hear the wiper motor running from the outside?

yeah, takin the cowl off is easy. i just did it on mine for teh first time last month to replace the windshield, just some clips that are easy to take out.
