HEADLIGHT WIPER MOTOR REPLACEMENT

Below are step by step instructions of how to remove the headlight wiper motor on a Saab 93 car. These instructions are basically the same for all Saabs that have headlight wiper motors. The typical issue with headlight wiper motors is that the wiper arms get hit from the front causing the motor to get pushed out of its housing. In some cases you can simply put it back together and it will work fine but in some cases the motor wiring get damaged causing the fuse to blow. Replacement of the motor is the only cure if the fuse blows consistently.
