245 wipers stuck after ice storm 200

My wife, lovely thing she is, decided that after a freak ice storm it would be a good idea to turn on the wipers on our 245 instead of going outside to clear the windshield first. Now the wipers won't budge at all, in any of the speed positions. I checked the #2 fuse and it looks solid as ever. Did this little effort fry the motor, or is there some kind of mechanical protection against this sort of occurence?

I did a cursory search and someone talked about resetting some kind of mechanical fuse after an event like this. Where is that and how do I reset it?

Thanks a bunch!
