Does the wiper motor freeze up easily? --- - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

It snowed, melted, then refroze this week.

I went out to drive the ZR-1 around the block today ... hit the wiper motor , and the passenger arm went up 1/4 of the way and stopped.

I turned off the wipers ... and as I drove the arm would move up and down about 1/4" like it was trying to cycle itself to wipe the window.

I wasn't sure if the motor / arm froze because of the water ... or if my wiper motor kicked the bucket on me.

It was 27 today , but has been in the teens.

I'll check tomorrow afternoon, its supposed to be above freezing for awhile.

Thanks
