[MOhillbilly]

So when you turn on the wipers the D side works? What type of car?

There is a nut under the wiper arm that sometimes works loose. If you take the wiper arm off you'll see it. If that doesn't do it it's probably in the linkage.

gotcha.

If its not the linkage, I'll bet the wiper motor is burned up. Is anything else not working? Fuse?

everything else works including the drivers side wiper. would the passengerside have a motor?

Looks like you might need Windshield Wiper Linkage Bushings

No.

didnt think so cause if it did she was wallored out something awful.

thanks guys.

It could be the nylon grommets in the linkage are worn out. I'd take the wiper arm off first and ck the nut. If it is the grommets I think you can get them at Oreilys.

It sounds minor.....wear an tear.

Check the nut under the case on your wiper arm. It happened to me last week.
