So, pulled the cowl, cleaned out beneath the screens and lubed everything. Removed the arm from the ball too and lubed that. Arms move a bit easier now, but nothing that really made a difference. I did mark the hood hinge and just loosened the two bolts that hold it in position, then removed the rear bolt and figured out how to bend the hinge and bring the hood down to make room to remove the cowl and screen. It wasn't that hard, just had to use my brain to figure it out (have a headache now). Rick, I am thinking it could be electrical, so I'll be checking that, weather permitting, tomorrow, as the sun has disappeared and it is drizzling out there now. While I was at it, I also put my "Winter Front" on.
On another note, when I pull the wiper arms off to remove the cowl, on both of them the spring loaded clips that hold them on the stubs coming out of the cowl broke off. Took them back to Advanced Auto and they replaced them for free (gotta love that lifetime replacement warranty). Unfortunately, they had to order the arms, as they were not in stock. They'll be in Tuesday.
