My Windshield wipers don't work, can anyone help or give advice in what I should do?

I left my car overnight 2 nights at an airport in kansas city a couple weeks ago. When I got back the car was covered in snow and then when i got all of the snow off, the windshield wipers, front or back, wouldn't work. I have let them defrost a bit for a few weeks but they still don't work. Should I go and replace the windshield wipers? Or is it something different?My Windshield wipers don't work, can anyone help or give advice in what I should do?
Did you try unsticking them from the windshield? Like physically lifting them up off the window? This is always a quick fix for when they are actually frozen to your window. The fact that you tried over a couple weeks makes me think that's not the case.



You could try looking for which fuse your wipers work on. It could be blown, and fixing it is a simple matter of locating the correct fuse (online or your car manual) and then replacing it if is in fact blown (you can tell by looking at the little wire inside the fuse - if it's a broken wire than the fuse is broken).



After that you should look into it being some type of electrical/mechanical problem.



Replacing the actual wiper blades would likely do nothing. If just those need replacing it is because they aren't doing an effective job of wiping away the rain.



So check the fuse.My Windshield wipers don't work, can anyone help or give advice in what I should do?
Well, for starters don't drive in the rain.
