you might have stripped the splines on the post, or the wiper linkage popped off. there is only one motor for the 2 wipers

+1, only one motor on the firewall under pass side. i've had this happen, it was actually two things. The nut the holds the wiper on was way loose and when i pulled the plastic cowl piece i found the 3 nuts that hold the wiper in place were missing/loose. Tighten it all back up and i was good to go.

stripped splines is a possibility as well but its usually a long time coming (you notice wiper acting odd for a while).

good luck.
