Wow, some really funny crap being written.

Firstly modern Airbus types ( the A330 and I'm sure the A320 is the same ) don't have circuit breakers in the cockpit, they are computer reset push buttons on the overhead panel.

Secondly, the CB for the wipers is located in the Equipment bay under the floor. I wouldn't suggest a Pilot go sniffing around down there in flight trying to find the correct one!! besides there is no drop down Oxy down there and you'd need to take a portable bottle to be sure.....

In my opinion a good decision to return and get it turned off before scratching the window or overheating the motor or driving the Captain mad with the noise!! ..... ( not to mention the 230 kt limit as well )
