2000 Elantra- wipers were frozen with ice. Switch turned on and something "broke". Wipers no longer work. How do I fix the problem?

You screwed up the wiper motor turning it on while blades were frozen. Replace the wiper motor park plate, or get a reman wiper motor

Yes, you did.

Washer fluid is probably frozen, have you checked the fuse for the wipers? There should be an overload protection in case the blades stick

HTH

Hyundai started using plastic washers to hold down wiper arms. This is to prevent damage to the wiper transmission in cases where the wipers are either frozen to the windshield or trying to push too much snow/ice. To remove the wiper arm, you will need to locate the washer and remove it first. Chances are the washer will be the only part you need to replace.

Turn on key & wipers--try to move wiper arms--not real hard--may break something--sometimes wipers will start moving.Next--have motor tested--then check for fuse, fusible link, or circuit breaker--depends on make of car. If fuse--replace--if other take to qualified mechanic.

not sure about your vehicle but I have found on most vehicles there are two arm located on the wiper motor there is usually a link clip holding them in place it may have popped off under pressure or broke hopefully that is all is the cheapest solution if arms did not get damaged...I hope this is helpul

Loosen the nut on top then realign them then tighten the nut. I have to do mine every time they get frozen.

wiper switch is broke .replace it.

popped off look inside wiper cowl under windshield outside car hope that helped

yes you can simple problem to fix there are rodes that connect the two wipers together with a rocker arm it has com loose from the moter there are screws under the hood holding a panel closet to your winshild and there are screws in the panel out side the hood you will need to remove the windshild wipers to remove this panel once it is off you will see what i'm telling you
