No wiper action
I arrived at work this morning and once parked I went to spray the windshield and the drivers side wiper didn't budge and the passenger side wiper is erratic. Both wipers will move freely by hand.
Any thoughts?

It sounds like you have linkages broken that are common to both driver & passenger wipers if they both move freely by hand. Were they jammed by ice build up prior to this? You can remove the air inlet grill panel & the windshield frame reinforcement to get a closer look at the wiper motor & transmission linkage. If you need to remove the wiper motor & transmission, remove the wiper arms first.
