Electrical problem
2003 Kia Rio Two Wheel Drive Automatic 30000 miles

My windshield wipers got tangled together during a rainstorm. They were on high speed. I separated them, but now the passenger side wiper does not work. The driver's side wiper is bent, but it works. What should be done to fix this?

Have you checked the threads on the mount? Also, if they are good, you need to remove the cowl at the base of the windshield and check the linkage to the motor.

Let me know what you find.
