My 06 RL has recently started having issues with the wipers where they won't come on until the car is warmed up or has at least been driven for 15 or 20 minutes. After the wipers start working, I can turn the car off and back on multiple times throughout the day and never have another issue but it seems to only happen when the car is cold first thing in the morning. This had started back in the summer so temperature doesn't seem to be the culprit.

I've searched for past threads and haven't found anyone having issues like this.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

 

Are they frozen?

 

^No. It started in the summer.

 

No. The issue started in the summer and it's continued to be a problem regardless of the temperature.

 

Wow. That's a new one on me.

Total WAG: Microscopic solder break bridging as the metal heats and expands?

 

 

As far as melon scratchers go, that's a honeydewdle.
