First, I tried unplugging both wiper motors. This resulted in the problem going away. So then I tried having each plugged in, one at a time. Still no problem. So finally I plugged them both back in, and the problem still failed to manifest itself. So it seems as though unplugging and re-plugging the motors has solved the problem. However: the left side motor doesn't seem to be working. The plastic panel on the back of the motor isn't totally attached, and the wiper moves freely when the motor is off. So I'm thinking I might want to replace that motor. It looks like I'll have to pop the headlight assembly out to do it. Will it be necessaary to re-aim the headlight after this? This is a 1992 900 (slant-front headlights). John
