Sometimes it's just that easy hey? This car has been remarkably reliable since I got it at 227k, so I was thinking it would end up being something bigger to go wrong. I was fully expecting to have to tear into the aux belt and pulley assembly to inspect it all in a couple weeks when the engine's out for a manual swap hahaha. Hopefully the noise doesn't come back. This actually pointed out to me that my driver's side wiper motor was unplugged, likely had been since I got the car. Both back in sync now :)

Glad I could help. I actually had my headlight wiper motors removed a long time ago. I just never could get used to those things.
