My passenger side windshield wiper stopped working, but my driver's side wiper is still working. Is this something easy to fix or do I need to take it to the shop? I have a 2003 Olds Alero

Sounds like the spline drive is not tight or the linkage is disconnected.

It feels like the wiper arm itself has stripped out. what you're able to do is take away the cap on the wiper arm on the backside of your windshield and get a wrench/socket and attempt to tighten the bolt down. sometimes that works, different sensible you will desire a sparkling wiper arm. I doubt relatively that the wiper pivot is undesirable. in case you like a sparkling wiper arm, you are able to attempt a components shop or the broking of your automobile. (i.e. ford, chevy ect. ) desire this facilitates.

Your wiper arm is loose at the base, in which you need to tighten the mounting nut. 2. The actuator arm is has come apart

Most likely the motor that moves the wiper is eaither damaged or not functioning anymore. You'd have to take it in to get replaced and installed unless you know how to install that on your own which can be pretty tricky.
