When i put on my windshield wipers only the passenger side moves. The driver's side kinda moves but then gets stuck under the passenger side wiper. what is the problem!!!!!?????
any help would be great.
Thanks!

 

The wiper actuator module has stripped out where it attaches to the base of the wiper arm. Or, the wiper arm has stripped. I would look for a good used part to replace it.

Do you recommend i go to a junkyard or buy off the internet? Also are they pricey or average amount? thank you for your advice!

 

I don't want to dispute the answer you got. Only to say, a few months ago, shortly after I got my 97 A6 out of the shop, coming home from a distant soccer game, sporadic rain, was using the intermittents.

Driver's side started hanging up, then over shooting. Used them VERRRY sparingly, afraid it would fall off.

Next morning, looked at it, seems to me that, unlike my old Audis, it is not on a splined shaft, but a taper. The nut was loose. The cap covering the nut is a bit tough to get off, but snugging with, I think, a 13 mm box and all is well.

Cheers,

Oh, you MAY have stripped gears. I would check, first, to see if the nut is loose.
