Wiper Problem, please help, inspection is in 3 days

[Askidracer]

Well, about a month ago my passenger side wiper just quit woring, the driver one still works fine. I thought that they both ran off of the same motor, and if the bar had just come loose orsomething. So please someone tell me how to fix it, and fas cause i gotta go get it inspected, and i doubt that they will pass it with only one wiper blade working. Thanks

fuse?

[strange_trp]

check mechanical linkage from motor. lubricate/adjsut/repair as necessary.
the 25 amp fuse, if blown, would cause a condition where neither arm would work, since this is a 1 motor system.
locate wiper motor and just start pulling stuff apart around it until you can inspect the entire wiper arm assembly, including the linkage. replace blade arms and if possible, run wipers while observing linkage. the problem should be evident.
remember to index the position of wiper arms so you can reassemble correctly.
