"1997 Mazda Protege: The Driver Side Windshield Wiper Problems"

White 1997 Mazda Protege Front View

The driver side windshield wiper goes all over the place when its turn on. It will go off the side of the car sometimes. And sometimes it stops short. I have no problem with the passenger side wiper, just the driver side. I’ve tried tightening the arm thinking it might be loose and putting the arm down lower thinking it was resting too high, but it didn’t work either. Why would my wiper be going all over the place? My car is a 1997 Mazda Protege.
Answer: Sounds like the linkage (from the motor to the wiper arm shafts) under the firewall is shot.
