The wipers quit working. The fuse is OK. The wiper motor runs. I can move the blades by hand by 1 blade & both move. Is there an adapter of some kind between the motor and the wiper drive arms?
There are only 3 capscrews holding the motor to the firewall.

There's a single link from the motor arm to the left wiper. That link popped off its ball and socket, usually on the motor end. You should need a pliers to pop it back on. If it comes off again, the nylon ball is worn out. I don't think you can buy just the nylon part. Look for a used linkage from the salvage yard.
