You can't touch our beaver. :canada:
2012 Jetta SE, automatic, 45k mileage.

So, it was pretty drat cold today in upstate NY mid 20s on the way to work, mid teens on the trip home, no issues starting or warming up, ran fine, and about 15 minutes or so into the trip, I went to clean the windshield, and the washer fluid came out, but the wipers themselves wouldn't budge at all. Blades weren't frozen to the windshield or anything like that, and there did not appear to be any ice or other block. It sounded like the wiper motor was running, but I am not 100% positive on that, but I can certainly check on the way to work tomorrow. For informative purposes, it did rain last night, and while I am pretty sure that I did turn the wipers off before shutting the car off, there is a possibility that the wipers were on the lowest intermittent setting when the car started today. I tried the wipers a few times on the trip home tonight, and nothing. It's after midnight, so obviously I'm not going to tinker with it tonight, but it will sit outside all night in the cold. Could this just be a case of it just being the first real cold day, and things being a bit stubborn, or something beyond that? What do I look for tomorrow?
