Why would they need to be heated?
in the winter when it snows when you have thin ice or snow.. I don't know about you but in Boston we kind of get snowSifrino3 said:
, I could be wrong but I could have sworn someone w/a 2002 told me they had heated wipers.....Looked it up on yahoo and found that Lincoln LS has "front windshield wipers with heated wiper park" but I don't know how to find out if my car has it guess I am going to have to hit the books.......
Is it me or do we not have that many posts or replys for that matter about LS's???? Is the LS owner the little man at Lincoln VS Cadillac??? Just wondering what the ratio was to the other Lincoln's and Caddies

I think all 2000s had them not sure if they were fazed out. Mine automatically come on whenever it is less than 40F outside. The button is on the climate control panel.
Now if there was a way of getting headlamp washers with wipers I'd make better time during snow storms.

I have a 2004 and it has heated wipers.
I aggree that the LS forum is a little slow. It would be nice to see more LS owners join.

It doesn't say anywhere on the car does it? I also have a sport but it's an 03 w/every option but wood steering wheel (does make it look sharp) and wood trim. I had Lincoln throw in the 03-04 Chrome Rims. I just got it a few months ago....
Then lets get this LS party going......... can we have a recruiting party or something

Um the cads have heated windshields much better than heated wipers, which probably would be hard to do.

This is a quote from my manual in the Climate Control section:
"Heated Wiper Rest: Heats the windshield wiper blades in order to reduce the chance of ice buildup and to aid in defrosting. This feature operates automatically when the outside temperature is near or below freezing."
There is no button to turn it on or off. On my window sticker it lists
Heated Wiper Park.
I guess I will find out how well it works soon enough.

It's more of an orange, but I do have a line.

It's the button next to the rear defroster control on my 2000 (if I'm remembering correctly between the rear defroster and the selector for defrost with footwell ventilation)

My 2003 LS has the orange lines in the windshield under the wipers. I have no button to control it either. FWIW.

It's only normal for an LS owner. :dancefool
Yes, the two orange lines that you see on the wondow are the heated wiper rests and they will turn on at 40 deg.
EXTERT FROM OM
Electric window heaters
(heated wiper rest) — Located at the base of the windshield, this
feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front
defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When
activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the
chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the
feature is in operation.
With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be
automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5°C (40°F). The
feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time. However, the
automatic feature will be enabled each time the engine is started.
