Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The
wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more

before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen
or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow
or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
