Driver Side windshield wiper just quit working why?

I looked at the wiper on the driver side and it moves freely like maybe the linkage has come off or broke.

if you mean it moved freely when you move it by hand,then i believe you are correct> linkage/bushing broke/came off.also,some newer models have a little plastic cap over the part that goes to the shaft and has a nut under there that may or may not be loose?

Thanks for your help it has a bushing that broke and had to get what they call a wiper transmission and was able to get another one and had it fixed.

i had the same thing happen on a honda a few years ago and most parts places sales the bushings in their HELP section,but they have none for honda. i had to go to the Honda dealer,but they only sold the bushing with the linkage/transmission arm and was only $20.00. i believe your whole transmission is only $80.00,and replacing it is easy,less than 1 hour..glad you fixed it...
