Anyone's windshield whippers not want to work when you first start your Jeep and it's freezin' out? This morning it took maybe 5 minutes in order to warm up enough to make the whippers move.... really slow. Once they start moving i put them on high speed and they start to work fine. I'm assuming it's the windshield whipper motor that's frozen. This has happened ever since i got the Jeep (2yrs) and it's just starting to bug me. Any ideas?

as far as i'm concerned cold weather wont slow a wiper motor , but it will slow a wiper if it is frozen to the windshield. but i have never heard of an electric motor freezing from cold weather, unless water got into it someway somehow. wiper motors are not hard to replace if it comes to that. good luck

It's gotta be the motor. The wippers aren't frozen to the windshield. It's tolerable, just alittle aggrivating. Especially when you splash some washer fluid on the windshield and then realize that the darn wippers don't move. Maybe i should just wake it with a BFH.

Must be a TJ thing. If it is really cold out, it might take a little longer for the motor to register the proper amount of resistance from the intermiten (sp) wipers I am guessing!
