Hello Sir

My wind shield wiper on the driver side doesn't work, but the one on the passenger side works. I think the link between the two wiper blades is broken and if that is correct, then is there any way that I can get a link and install that my self. If this is the wrong reason then I would like to request where exactly the problem is at. I would be thankful if some body can help in this regard.

Thanks

It is more than likely the wiper arm gear is stripped, either the arm itself or the wiper regulator it connects to.

Remove the protective cap on the wiper arm, then the bolt, you should have to pry the arm off. It it removes easily, then one or the other is stripped.

If neither is stripped, then the regulator would have to be taken out, it mat be possible to repair it.
