Wipers worked yesterday, I left them on when I shut truck off. Snowed and froze overnight. Started truck this morning forgot I left them on when I went to turn on I realized they were on. Now they don't work. Thinking they were frozen to window and blown fuse. I checked 25 amp fuse in box and was still good and still don't work. Any ideas what to check next?

Good afternoon,

You need to test for power to the motor itself. It may have burned out the wiper motor.

I attached a diagram for you to view. Check for power to the motor on the highlighted wire.
