Question:

on my ford ranger 1998 my windshield wipers wont turn on?

i turned my windshield wipers on while their was a lot of snow on my windshield now they wont move at all?

Answer:

First, check the fuse for the wipers.overload might have burned the fuse. Secondly, if the fuse is okay, then see if the motor is running, look under the hood and feel it. If it is running, then linkage is gone. Chances are you blew a fuse. You should always move the blades by hand, to free them up, when there is ice or snow on the windshield.
they are probably frozen to the windshield,get some deicer and spray on them to break them loose and see if they work if not check the fuse.
probably broke something or burned out the motor. I would pop the hood have someone try to run the wipers see if the motor under the hood is making noise? Ifs dead then replace the motor you could have broken wiper linkage too.
