Anyone know about a stuck headlight wiper? It seems to work intermittantly and gets stuck pointing up. The other one works fine.

If you can move it by hand, take the plastic cap off and tighten up the holding nut.
If it just won't move, try spraying the shaft with a penetrating oil or WD40. It would help to have a person in the car try washing the windshield with the lights on and you out front getting wet trying to help free the wiper.
Dealers will replace the whole works for a large fee :)

I tried unplugging the harness and reinstalling it and so far so good. It seems to be working now. I'll try to spray some lube in the area as well.
