Windsield Wiper Assy. Problems

Hi everyone:

I recently acquired a pretty nice '81 F150 and have a problem already.

The passenger side windshield wiper stopped working. I figured the arm was stripped, but when I pulled the arm it was fine. I left the wiper arm off and turned on the wipers. The stud didn't turn. Any guesses as to how to repair it.

I've searched all over the site and can't find an answer to my problem.

Thanks for all of your help.

Mac

Pull the cowl off and take a look at the wiper-arm transmission underneath it.

My '81 did the same thing. When I took the cowl off it was a simple clip (#5) that had popped loose. works great now.
