2005 sunfire; Yesterday my wife turned on her wiper blades and one blade got stuck to other but now only one side works (driver side). the other one just stays still. I know that there is only one motor for both blades.

rev2red,
My Haynes manual only goes to 2004 but generally all the same. There should be only one wiper motor. You most likely stripped or broke off the wiper arm connection to the passenger side. It controls both sides with a linkage system. You will have to remove the windshiled cowl and inspect to see what damage has been done. Remind wife to make sure wipers are not frozen to windshield next time. Trust me I know. Grew up and still live in the prairies in Canada. LOL. Damn cold. Hope that helps.
