My girl was driving car in winter, kept you rning frozen wipers on and off until they broke. We replaced the wiper transmission and they worked, until we put the passenger side wiper on. After it was on, it will not work.?

Yes. When tested after installation it ran fine. When we put the driver side wiper on, it ran fine. We put on passenger side wiper and nothing worked.

Can you hear the motor turn at all now? Can you hear a motor whine or anything?

The motor runs, the transmission works. When you hook the arm up on passenger side, too, it just won't move the wipers.

WIPER ARMS

In park position, distance between upper edge of each wiper arm and bottom of parking ramp should be 1" (25.4 mm). Move wipers to outer wipe position (top of sweep). Distance between left wiper arm and vertical edge of windshield should be 1 3/8-4 1/2" (35-114 mm)
While wipers are operating, wiping pattern of right blade should overlap wiping pattern of left blade. If wiper arms are not positioned as specified, remove and reposition wiper arms.
