Hi My 95 850 right side headlight wiper gets stuck after I use the wash wipe. It makes a noise from the motor until I give it a push to help it finish the cycle. Its annoying to keep having to do this. Does anyone know what the fix is? Thanks.

My only source of information has been a dealer (up until recently). I have a '97 850 and a 98 XC. The '98 XC has had the same problem. The diagnosis from the dealer is that the headlight wiper motor needs to be replaced. Probably correct, but also expensive.

You can live with the problem for a few more months at which point the motor ceases to function completely and you will avoid driving around with a strange looking headlight.

Personally, I can't see the point for wipers on the headlights unless you live in Minot, North Dakota, but they came with the same package as the seat heaters (which my wife insisted on).

Alternatively, disconnect the wiper motors, I think there are instructions for doing so somewhere in the brickboard archives.

I wouldn't have actually paid for them either, nor for the seat heaters, since I have cloth seats. I wanted the traction control which was bundled with the two other options.
