sounds like a gear had been stripped out on the passenger side... it allows it to move a little but doesnt catch to move the wiper. It COULD be a burned out motor too.... both of which I dunno how to fix. Im sure someone here can help you.


again it sounds like a gear has been stripped. There is a topic that has been posted even recently on this... take a look to help you see what your getting in. https://montecarloforum.com/m_87006/tm.htm


It sounds like a it has some broken sensors for the TCS, and again, a burned out motor. it does confuse me how BOTH are burned out though... if you could. I HIGHLY recommend asking to tst drive again and just bring it to a mechanic to take a few quick looks at. They could tell you what exactly you should be paying for parts and labor to get it back to working condition!
