If the driver's side is okay, it's probably a linkage problem. The jumping indicated a binding situation. Pull the cowl trim and see what socket got dropped down in there to get in the way, or to knock the linkage ajar on the passenger side.

What above stated..also the nut on the wiper arm its covered up if it gets loose then it will result in slack=not going up all the way.
