Wiper mishap

My wipers were off and of course one day it decided to rain. So in my haste I only installed the driver side wiper. I turn on the wipers only to see the driver side begin to move then stop. Regardless of switch setting the wiper won't budge. While reading through the forums I came across a posting stating that the wipers have sensors of some sort? Could it be that since only one wiper was installed that it has thrown the system out of sync? What is the fix?
 
I don't think there's any sensor associated with the wipers, no. I wonder if the linkage got jammed? Try taking off the upper cowl panel and look at it. Make SURE you keep your fingers out of the mechanism or the battery is unplugged. Remember, the wipers will continue to park even after the switch is turned to OFF. Also, if the linkage did jam at some point, it could have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker.
