Got Bridget to the mechanic around 0930 and she was finished by 1015ish. It was, indeed, the windshield washer motor. I've had cars much older and in much worse shape than Bridget and *never* had a windshield washer motor give up the ghost before! Odd, that.
It's a refurbished motor, of course, because the car is old and Saturns haven't even been in production since...awhile...but just because it's a refurb doesn't mean it's not going to work out well for me for a long time. I'm gonna try to baby it as much as I can to get as much life out of it as I possibly can.
Total cost of repair plus labor was $216.86. Could've been worse, LOL. And, yes, I made sure to test them on the ride home--everything is working just fine. :) A helluva lot better than they had been before they stopped working entirely last Saturday--they'd been slowing down for a long time before things really went south, so...yeah! Now they wipe at the right speed again, which seems rather fast, but I'm not complaining! :)
So, yay!! :)
