Just to add to this one have you checked the fuse yet? Also, do you have a multi meter?

Look at the wire diagram that Rastamaz posted, it shows the fuse for it.

Six cylinder all wheel drive automatic

The passenger side wiper only will not work. What needs to be done about fixing this?

First thing I would check would be to see if your wiper arm nut was loose.

So are you saying the passenger wiper does not move back and forth? If that is the case then i would see if the nut holding the arm on loosened up. Or that the splines on the arm or the shaft are not stripped.

Four cylinder two wheel drive automatic 140,000 miles

In December while drive there was some kind of bad connection in my steering column and it started to smoke. well nothing to bad came of it, just my windshield wipers would have a mind of their own sometimes. Now my windshield wipers do not work at all. my horn does not work, my lock/unlock remote does not work, my front left light is out, and my side mirror adjuster does not work, but i still have the radio and lights. what could possible be wrong and will it cost a lot to fix?
