Hello, I would say that is exactly what has happened. If you can move the wipers with no resistance it's likely one of the bolts has come loose. Both wiper arms are linked to one wiper motor.

hi, im not sure if they would have a separate motor each because most vehicles have a linkage bar that connects the two wipers to keep them in time with each other. without the wipers on, try manually rotating the paasenger side wiper (be gentle) if that moves easily and the drivers side does not even flinch, then it could be a broken linkage. hope i helped!

no you need a locking bolt to lock the wipers to the motor

you need to remove both the wiper arms. Take off the rain seal from under the windshield. remove the cover underneath you will find the rod has worn and dropped off you must get a complete new mechanism. Or if you cant afford to do that re attatch the rod to the buckle pin on the wiper arm and use some insulation tape to make a temporary repair till you can get a new one.
