Started up the 90q yesterday for a drive to indianapolis from dayton.  Had 
left the wipers on from the night before and they tried to move but were 
frozen to the windshield.  After clearing the windshield and allowing the car 
to warm a little, a nice electrical smell was brewing inside my car.  Then 
came the smoke from the wiper motor area under the hood.  Today wipers are 
working, but slowly.  I've got a nice lingering smell now too, tis great.  
Did I blow up the motor, or the transmission for the wipers?  Good source on 
the motor/transmission? (local Autozone and foreign parts stores well over 
$70)

TIA,
