Passenger side windshield wiper doesn't move on 2000 Explorer

Passenger side windshield wiper doesn't move on my 2000 Explorer 2 dr 4wd 4x4 Sport. The driver side still works fine, but no action at all on the passenger side. No sound that I can hear even. I've tried to tighten the 1 inch and a halfish plastic ''bolt'' (can't effin believe that's a car part) that connects the wiper to the top of the car and had nothing happen, and now I can't seem to loosen it either. If anyone has a solution I'd declare you pure genius and be forever greatful.

Thanks to all responses!

You will need to find where in the linkage the problem is. I would start taking it apart to see what is and what isn't working correctly. Autozone website has free repair manuals available online.

The windshield wiper driver side does not move. Passenger side does. How do I get to it?

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)

Windshield wipers

You might have a stripped wiper arm spline. Check it by seeing if it moves with your hand. Also check wiper arm connection under the black plastic unscrew and remove black plastic.
