98 Dodge Stratus Windshield Wiper Problems?

Question

Drivers side window wiper won't work, passenger side moves fine. I am guessing this means the motor is ok, and the problem is in the arm linkage system, is this a fair assumption? Any suggestions or words of warning before I start to tear apart my car?

Answer 1

make sure the arm is tight on the tranmssion for the wipers, this is a typical problem with these cars, if this is not the case, there is probaly a linkage rod that has come loose from the tranmssion under the cowl.
