It was a very frosty morning this morning and I knocked my windscreen wippers on but obviously they were frozen to the windscreen. After defrosting my front wippers and screen wash no longer work. Have I blown a fuse or is the windscreen motor more likly to be damaged?

Hi there,

You will have to check the fuse box and locate the wiper fuse. Under normal conditions the fuse will blow before the motor is damaged.
