While driving in semi-heavy rain with your wipers on medium to high speed, your driver's side wiper suddenly stopped mid-stroke. The passenger wiper then ran over the driver's wiper, jamming them together. This requires replacement of the complete wiper linkage assembly to fix.

WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ASSEMBLY FELL APART ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE ONLY WIPER THAT WORKS IS PASSENGER SIDE NOW. IT WAS SNOWING HARD AND ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT ON I81 IN SYRACUSE. I REMOVED ASSEMBLY AND INSPECTED IT. WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE CAUSE WAS LACK OF GREASE IN THE BALL AND SOCKET JOINT OF CONTROL LINKAGE.*JB
