We had a freak snow here, and it was the major wet heavy stuff.

I didn't properly clean my back window before driving off.  Turns out
the wiper couldn't handle it.

A few minutes after driving, I had the unmistakable smell of electrical
stuff burning.

I pulled over and (fortunately I don't have the hatch interior panel in
right now...) and that motor was HOT.

I cleaned off the snow and the motor still works.

Shouldn't a fuse have blown?

Any idea how to get the smell out of my van?  The window has been open
for two days...

Thanks,
...Markus
