One broken wiper arm

    While driving my '07 Fiesta the other night, the passenger side wiper stopped working.
    the driver side one works fine, so I guess its not the wiper motor.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    The nut holding the wiper to the spindle on the motor might have worked loose, or on most cars there's a kinda ball and socket joint midway between the motor and where the wiper spindle comes up to where the wiper bolts on. Easy enough to remove the plastic piece at the bottom of the windscreen and have a look. Only thing is I'd be surprised if it was either of those things considering it's a 07 but you'd never know.

    As above, I'd say the nut coming loose is more likely then a broken linkage on such a new car.

    Try clipping off the plastic cover at the base of the wiper and move the wiper arm by hand, if the nut doesn't move with the wiper then the nut must be loose, if it does then there is a linkage problem.

    If the nut is loose just tighten it at you'll be fine.
