windshield wipers

[94grandprix]

Ok earlier I cleared snow off my windshield or most of it anyways and there wasn't but a little amount left anyways and figured the windshield wipers would get it off,it didn't and something broke inside of my wipers,the right is very fast and driver won't go now,here's a very short video showing it Windshield wipers screwed up: http://youtu.be/U7Hoa14mhAo what could have happened?

You might want to check and see if the nut is tight on that driver's side wiper.

When you seen when I turned them on that was on the first setting and not full blast like they are acting like and they were acting normal the other day,the nut is on it

I bet the nut under the cap will be turning as normal, but the wiper stays stationary.

Yep the motor obviously works and if the wiper transmission broke there would be loud noises.

Ok I'll go double check,I used them the other day and it's like the snow messed something up

It always does. That's when the arms always strip out.

grab that driver side wiper arm, and see if you can move it by hand up the windshield, if it moves easy the nut came loose, or the arm splines have worn off. then you would need a new arm.
