    I have a 2010 Prius with 160K miles.
    We had a decent amount of snow one night, nothing the Prius hasn't endured before, while l parked outside. I turned on the windshield wiper, after dusting most of the snow off ofthe windshield and around the wiper blades, only to find out that the passenger side isn't working. The driver side works fine. Because of this, I assume the motor works just fine. Do I need a new wiper assembly or a blown fuse that I should check for? I know how to install a wiper assembly but if it turns out that it's, I have no idea how to change it.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    iirc, there's one motor/tranny and fuse. sometimes when the blade freezes to the windshield, the nut will come loose, or maybe the inner splines will shear. anyways, i would pull it apart and see if the shaft splines are turning.
