Default Dead wiper on 2008 S Type Jaguar

We have a 2008 S Type in excellent condition. As the weather got colder, below freezing, the passenger side, American, wiper has quit working. It is easy to move by hand. Our hope is that the only issue may be the nut is loose. She has the car out and I will check it for a loose nut as soon as I can. Any other ideas?

Hello, that may be a culprit
Why not check out other forums , S Type Faqs is a good source as well (if you need to know any other how to things )

Wiper fixed. Way too simple. I finally got the car back in my hands and went after the culprit. It was the nut behind the wheel. No, really, the nut on the wiper arm nut, 13mm, was loose. Simply pop the cover off with a small blade flat tip screw driver, position the wiper arm, and tighten the nut. Replace the cover and off you go!
