Check to make sure the wiper arm is firmly attached to the shaft - it sounds like either the wiper came off of the shaft or there is an internal problem with the linkage between the wiper and the motor. Wire would have nothing to do with your problem. If the wiper fell off of the shaft, there is a bolt or screw that holds the wiper arm on the shaft. The cover over the shaft should be pryed up to expose the screw. If the arm is firmly attached to the shaft, then you will need to get inside of the assembly to repair.

IT requires fully qualified people to carry out this service
