I've searched but couldn't find the answer to my specific question. I know the headlight wipers are activated by the windshield washers. But I would like to know where and how they're driven. I replaced both my blades and the wiper on the right swept up and stopped. The one on the left works just fine. I didn't have any problems with either one working, but now the right one is locked in the up position and I don't know why or what drives the shaft. any ideas? - TIA - Dan

 

There is a motor under the headlight that works the blades.

The motor is bad thats why it is stuck now.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll pull the headlight and take a look at the motor.I guess I'll have to hit up some junkyards...LOL

 

What year is it?

 

It's a 98 V70 SC

 

The right one is a real PITA to replace.

 

Would it cause an electrical problem to just disconect the headlight wipers? My right one is beginning to get stuck and it's just a matter of time. Nice feature but can live without!

 

No that will be fine.
