Check the wiper fuse...if functional you will have to remove, and replace the passenger side arm starting in the down position...be sure to turn off the wipers before turning off your car...hope this helps.
The wiper motor must be directly linked to the passenger side wiper, and the driver side wiper gets its action from the passenger motion. probably the linkage from passenger wiper to the driver side wiper must be the problem. Under the dashboard you can check it, the linkage must be snapped off. (safety first)
It's in the door pillar driver door open at the bottom edge. it's also near the winshield pillar driver side on the top of the dash its so close to the pillar it's hard to read Altima is the same. on the firewall under the hood theres a stamped data plate next to and a little behind the wiper motor and wire harnesses hard to read also
The most likely cause is the nut at the base of the wiper arm. If it is loose it can cause this problem. If that is not the problem then the next thing that would probably cause it is wiper linkage that is worn out and has become disconnected.
