I live in Georgia, and we recently had light snow and freezing. When I went out to drive my Supra, it had frost on all the windows. I started it, and turned on the heaters, but thought I would help the process along by turning on the wipers to help remove the frost. What I didn't realize is that the wipers were frozen to the glass. So when I turned them on, they didn't move. I didn't hear any noise - they just didn't move. When I finally got them loose, they still didn't work, and still don't. No sounds, just don't work. Since they all (2 front, and 1 rear) went at the same time, I'm thinking it's a fuse or something that serves that purpose. But I checked all the fuses I could see in the fuse box on the left front fender under the hood, and they all looked good. Anyone know of anything that could be causing this to happen? Any other fuses or links? Everything else seems normal. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip on the other fuse box. I should have thought to look for another one. Anyhow, that's were the problem was. Replaced the fuse, and the wipers worked fine. By the way, the wiper fuse is the blue 15 amp fuse at the bottom,?left hand side, as you look at the fuse box. Also found out (long story) that the fourth one up, a red 10 amp controls starting the car.?Without it, the engine won't turn over. Thanks again.
