| Description of the problem | During a snow event on jan 3, 2015, my windshield wipers stopped working all together (it was snowing and about 36 degrees). I could hear a click coming from below the fuse box, but they were not working so i had no visibility and had to pull over. I pulled the fuse from the block think maybe it somehow became loose and replaced (with the same) and the wipers started working again. I continued on with my day. On jan. 6, during another snow event, the same thing happened as i pulled out of a 40 degree garage. This time i could not get them to start working so i needed to have it towed to a garage. This is still under warranty, and so far the evaluation has been that the wipers are now working, but there is a code displayed that the wipers had a fault, but they don't know what to replace. I sure hope this doesn't happen when i'm on a highway going 65 mph next to a truck throwing up road salt onto my windshield. |
