04 Disco Windshield Wipers Frozen?
Hello,
I have an 04 se7, and this evening in Nashville, TN we had a heavy snow. My wipers were working fine, then I went into some friends' house for a few hours, and when I came out my wipers wouldnt budge. I cleared the snow and ice from around them, and can move them back and forth with my hands, but they dont respond even by twitching when I turn them on in the car. Any idea what the problem and solution may be?
Thanks so much,
Brandon

This is funny stuff, you guys who dont normally get any snow break stuff when you do.
You MUST clear the snow from the wipers AND make sure they are not frozen to the glass before you turn them on.
The best thing to do is when you park it turn the wipers off and let them "park", then turn the truck off.
If you leave the wipers on or do not let them "park" when you start the truck they will try and move and that is when you, if you are lucky, blow a fuse.
Other wise you can burn up your wiper motor or wiper transmission.
Same thing with the rear wiper.
Now onto your problem.
Check the fuse, then check the nuts on the wipers arms, those nuts come loose and the wiper arms wont move, tighten them and you are good to go, 10mm nut.
On DII's the wiper switch is very temp sensative, its just a Rover thing.
The only fix is a new wiper switch.
