Need advice on windshield wiper problem...?

I have a 2005 Impala (3.4L), and my driver side wiper stopped working while on full speed, slinging the whole blade over to the driver side mirror. The passenger blade still works, and the driver side %26quot;twitches.%26quot; I have some mechanical skill (can change an alternator or fuel pump), but know exactly zero about wiper problems. Is this a do-it-yourselfer? Could it be the wiper motor, or does it control both wipers? ANY advice or resource references would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

Pop the hood and check the nut that holds that wiper arm it could be loose!

i think the bolt that is holding the wiper blade is loose. tighten it... if it does not help then probably the teeth inside are damaged and you will have to get a new wiper blade....
It is one of two things, the wiper arm or the wiper arm connector arm. You can check the wiper arm by taking the arm off of the mount and turn the wipers on if the drive moves back and forth then you need a new wiper arm. If that isn't the problem then you are going to need to remove the panel(s) that house the wiper drive arms and check to see where it has come undone.
motor ok...its working as u can see....transmission [yes wipers have one] its working,,,,the mechanical connection between the 2 wipers...uh oh... broke...look under dash [under hood] and figure out how to get at it..you should see the broken mechanism....
Buy the manual, you can replace this yourself. Sounds like to me the linkage broke inside connecting your wipers,
