2000 VW Jetta - Wipers Stopped Working

One day after work I go into my car and due to bad winter weather I turned on my windshielf wipers. To my surprise they did not move at all, but instead there was a faint “wurring” noise. I got out to make sure they were not just frozen to the glass, but that was not the case. I haven’t checked the fuse yet, but will be trying that soon. Any Suggestions on what the problem could be?

Check the fuse first, of course. If you heard the wiper motor whirring it’s possible the wiper mechanism has come loose from the motor. You’ll have to go step by step to figure it out.

I will look into that as well, thank you for the suggestion.
