Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and
a
fuse. If the motor
overheats due
to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
