Re: This morning after heavy snow and frost my wipers on...
WIPER BLADES MORE LIKELY FROZEN STUCK. OR HAVE A LOT OF SNOW ON THEM. YOU HAVE TO CAREFULLY REMOVE SNOW OR ICE TO FREE WIPER BLADES THEN THEY WILL WORK AGAIN.

With ya'lls perty white heavy snow,it made your wipers get unaligned,you will have to remove and reset.It's not good to remove snow from wipers when windshield is loaded,get a scraper or blower and go at it.Wish we got snow.
The windshield wiper circuit has an circuit breaker in it, under heavy load this breaker trips to protect the wiper motor, when the motor cools, the breaker resets automatically restoring proper wiper action.
You should check your fuses first. What may of happened is that the wiper motor could be frozen if the wiper arms are frozen in ice. Another thing that may of happened is that the wipers were used to clear the windshield instead of clearing it manually. When that is done if there is too much snow or it is a heavy snow the wiper motor will burn up or go bad due to the fact that it does not have enough power to do such things.
If the fuse blows as soon as you put it in and the wipers are off then you have a short between the fuse block and the wiper switch.
If the fuse blows only when you turn the wipers on then more than likely the wiper motor has shorted and burned out. This one is very likely if the snow storm was heavy and you was driving in it. Cause- Moving large amounts of snow and ice off the window puts a heavy load on the wiper motors.
Chevy has had Problems with the Wiper Motors on these Trucks for a Long time now. On some Models they Issued Recalls. On My 95' I just Replaced the Wiper Motor and have had NO Problems Since!
