... related to the little lids on the bumpers freezing shut. When you attempt to activate the washers the system can fry itself trying to open the little pop up lids. I'm guessing that it's the pump motor that bites the dust. Once fixed, try and make sure that the there's no ice build up on the lids and see if that prevents a reoccurrence.
