@moh7979 I've never worked on one of these before, but as a starting effort I would expose the motor and lube with silicone spray all mechanical parts, especially where rubber meets metal. If it looks like more than a mechanical problem I would check voltage drop across the working wiper motor. If the voltage drop is suspect, I would remove the motor from the circuit and try to wire it separately, but only after reviewing a circuit drawing. If it still fails, you need a new motor.
@moh7979 Yes, I ended up fixing it. What you need to do is determine if it is a bad wiper motor of if your metal wiper transmission is Seized up. If you can't get the wiper arms off use a Battery terminal puller and a lot of WD-40. I had a bad wiper transmission and fixed it for around $60 and 4 hours of my time.
my 2000 jetta does the same, any update?
