    You might want to check and see if the nut is tight on that driver's side wiper.

    I bet the nut under the cap will be turning as normal, but the wiper stays stationary.

    Yep the motor obviously works and if the wiper transmission broke there would be loud noises.

    It always does. That's when the arms always strip out.

    grab that driver side wiper arm, and see if you can move it by hand up the windshield, if it moves easy the nut came loose, or the arm splines have worn off. then you would need a new arm.
