I bought my car and was told that the windshield wipers don't work, so I bought a new windshield wiper motor and replaced the fuse. Well, my driver side works perfectly fine but the passenger side wants to go the opposite way its supposed to. I can't figure out why.

Good afternoon,

The timing is wrong with the wiper arm on the passenger side.

You need to park the wipers and the remove the passenger side arm by removing the nut in the picture attached. Set it in the park position and tighten the nut. Then test it.
