Didn't catch what truck you have. Have you looked at the passenger wiper to see if its secure to the actuator? Its splined and maybe slipping. Going on at random, look into switch.

Yeah as for it not working, pop off the cover with a screwdriver and tighten it down!

Something is wrong with the linkage if you can move the wipers as if they were wiping the glass. Should not move.

It could be that the arms are stripped or could be that the linkage is bad. Stripped arms are an easy fix, the same cannot be said for the linkage.
