Well, I assume it's my drivers side wiper motor when I turn on the wipers, the passenger side moves, and the driver doesn't, so I need the drivers side wiper motor. The arm is movable, just dead.

mmm, I don't know about the Tib's, but in my old sentra it was one motor and the wiper assembly connected at a joint between the wipers. That joint broke on me one winter when I tried to wipe off ice with them, so that may be your problem.

Do you think it would be difficult to fix? It's 11:10 pm right now, and even in the daylight, I live in chicago. It's like 20* tops. lol
*And does anyone have a breakdown of what it looks like?

Well, again, if it's the same as my sentra they have a little ball and socket joint in there. I ended up putting a bolt through with a bunch of washers and that worked for the rest of the time I had it.

Hmm... I'll take a look at it tomorrow while im working on my car anyways... Looks like it may be a b**** to get to, being that its alll the way back in the compartment. Hopefully its nothing too major. I gotta pay a ticket, get that plastick fender piece, get this fixed now, and get an UD pulley. Next payday isn't coming soon enough...

Cool, thanks guys. I'll check it out today and post.
On a lighter note, I got new pics of my ride before during and after the rim painting, and they have my new shark spoiler in them too.

Fixed it. All RD1 members, on your wiper arm there is a bolt. I believe it's somewhere around 12mm. Make sure that it is tight otherwise your wiper arm will not move!
