Anyone knows whether changing headlight wiper motors on a '97 9000 CS is
a difficult task? Last time I did it was on a 99 with the central motor
attached to the cooler and with the two rods making the horisontal
sweeping movement, this was fairly simple.

The headlight wiper motor seems to be a weak point with these models. I
found four cars on the parking site at my office with the right
headlight wipers pointing in strange directions. The 9-5 seems to have
the same problem, my first motor died in the middle of the summer after
just 50000 km.

try wiggling the blade, sometimes works :-) They're usually pretty reliable
in my experience. The one wiper sticking up is sometimes just a parking
problem when you do a quick flick of the washers.

The old 99's always burnt out....( I had just one with functioning wipers..)
