I own a 1982 280ZX. The problem I am having is the passenger side windshield wiper works fine, but the driver's side doesn't move at all. I believe it is a mechanical issue, because both sides function off the same fuse. If any one can give me pointers on identifying and solving the mechanical problem, that would be a big help. Thanks!

the p/s wiper is connected to the wiper motor. there is a connecting arm to the d/s wiper from p/s wiper, this has come off or broken. take the cowl cover off that's between the wipers and you will be able to tell what is the matter.

good luck

Thanks! I took off the cowel cover, and immediately noticed that one of the bolts was loose enough I could turn it with my fingers. I tightened the bolt, and voila! A perfectly functional driver side windshield wiper. Thank you so much.
