2003 C320 - Phantom SAM codes & Wiper Issues

My son has a 2003 C320 4matic that has recently exhibited an issue with the windshield wipers stopping mid-windshield when they are turned off. He took it to a local independent that diagnosed the wiper motor as the culprit and quoted $750+ for the repair. He also provided a long list of SAM codes that he pulled from the car. In looking at all the on-line SAM decoders I could find - not one single code he provided is listed. Can anyone help me with these codes?

FRONT SAM:
B1001
B1009
B1016
B1050
B1049
B1051
B1041
B1040
B1003
B1015
B1030
B1029
REAR SAM:
B01055
B01054
B01043
B01042
B01044
B01089
B01096
B01091
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER:
B1108
B110D
B1121
B1128

Mechanic stated on invoice "cleared codes, unfortunately did not make wiper motor come back online so diagnosed wiper motor is faulty." Sounds suspicious to me. Would clearing the code potentially fix the issue? Given the quoted repair cost, the seemingly nonexistent codes and the diagnostic method - I'm questioning the skills of this independent ...

Um ... Plutoe ... I wasn't whining. Just curious as to what the codes meant.
