Nissan Repair: 97 Nissan Alitma, windshield wiper, wiper arms

Question
I have a few issues the first is my driver side brake light works one day and then it dont.  I have changed the bulb and noticed that when i touch it it get brighter and when i let it go its very dim, when i step on the break it dont light up, What to do?  The other question is my windshield wiper on the driver side stop working but the passenger side still work.

Answer
LaQuana,

The brake light not working all the time is probably due to the socket, where the bulb plugs in, is loose or a wire is not making contact.  You could crimp the connections and tighten the bulb connection or just replace it with a socket from a wrecking yard.  The windshield wiper problem is due to the arm coming loose under the cowl.  The motor drives both arms and the one on the passenger side is still hooked up.  There is a ball end and a clip that it connects to and that is what has popped off or broke.  Remove the wiper arms and then the cover to get to the mechanism.
