Default Windshield Wipers malfunctioning

The other night I remote started my 2007 Silverado "Classic".

It was 11F here in Detroit and when I got in and activated the wipers, only the passenger side moved. I immediately shut them off and checked to see if the driver's side was frozen to the glass.

It wasn't.

I got the truck in the garage and turned them on again to see the drivers side wiper moving slowly and not completing the cycle as the passenger side is.

Any ideas for repairing would be appreciated.

Thanks,

check the nuts that secure the wiper arm to the motor linkage...if they are loose...you can grab the wiper arm and move it back and forth when the system is off.

that worked! I removed both wiper arms and re-installed and the problem is solved.
thanks for the help!
