one motor runs both blades. most likely the nut has came loose that holds the arm to the gear at the bottom of the windshield area. take the plastic cover off of the wiper arm at the base, you will see the nut that tightens the arm to the gear. if its tight then the wiper arm is probably stripped out and needs replaced.
