Question:

I have a question about windshield wipers?

What would cause only one of the windshield wipers to work and the other to work just fine? Is it something I can fix myself or is it a job that requires a mechanic?

Answer:

Look to see if some type of connecting rod fell off.
complex aspect. look into yahoo or google. just that will help!
axle seal not a problem really pull axle replace seal
i've fixed a wiper that did what you described but i was missing the fasterning nut on it but only had to replace and tighten and it was fine.if yours keeps coming loose buy a spring washer and put it between the nut and shaft body
depending on make of car,the wiper arm nut gets loose at the base of arm,most of them have a plastic cover over the nut, pop off cover set wiper arm down at base of windshield(make sure wipers are in off position before you thighten nut) and tighten nut. other models have splines on arm and on post sticking up these you can't tighten they would need replacing.
