We got a big snow here last night. I cleaned the windshield off enough to drive to work and the wipers were working. The snow was keeping them from getting quite all the way to the park position, but this is something I have done throughout its 7 winters... All the sudden about a mile from home the radio lost power for about 2 seconds and came back on. The wipers wouldn't move after. I checked all the fuses and they are ok. There was no way I was driving another 15 miles with no wipers in the snow. I ended up turning around to get the CJ. After parking the XJ on the street for a while to dig the CJ out from the junk piled around it and get it out of the garage, I moved the XJ back into the driveway. The wipers came back to life. I still didn't trust them and drove the CJ to work today.
Based on the radio losing power, I suspect I may have an intermittent short somewhere. But if the motor froze up, that would effectively be a short too. I don't want to go drop 100 bucks on a motor to have the same issue happen. Anybody experience something like this before or have tip on where to look?
