Headlamp Wiper Motor Replacement on 9-3
Posted by richard (more from richard) on Wed, 31 Oct 2001 11:51:34
Hi,

I have a 1999 9-3 whose driver-side headlamp wiper was taken out of commission
by the impact of blowout debris. The wiper actually works, it just doesn't stop
when the wipers stop, so apparently it has lost its ability to identify its
stop or home position.

Is the motor something I can replace myself? I'm guessing that the motor is
integrated with the headlamp and will cost me an arm and a leg because I have
to replace the entire assembly. I can disable the headlamp washers by removing
a fuse in the engine bay fuse panel, but this car is leased and I'm guessing
that I'll be hit for excessive wear and tear charges if the wiper isn't fixed.

Thanks,

Richard
