Trying to find the name for a part on my truck

[OCNewbie]

I need this part for my truck, which connects the windshield wiper motor to the arm? that moves the actual whipers. My friend checked it out months ago (I tend to procrastinate), and told me it was a little plastic piece.

Does anybody know of a website that has manuals for all different makes/models of cars/trucks that I could possibly look at and determine the name of this part I'm looking for? It's a 93 Dodge Dakota fwiw. I just know that it's plastic, and what it does. I would just go into a dealership and look it up on their computers, and point out the part I need, but I'm not sure even if I see this diagram that I'll be able to pinpoin the part that's gone bad. So it'd be nice if I was able to check it out online first to see it's layout.

When I tried the same thing with a ford ranger, The dealer wanted to sell me the entire linkage.
Good luck

Broke on my brother's car.. he had to replace the entire wiper assembly.

A new flux capacitor should fix things right up.

Salvage yard. I doubt the dealer will sell you one piece.

Yeah, my friend who's 1000X more mechanically educated than I, told me I might not be able to buy just the part, and likely would have to buy the whole thing which he told me might cost $100-$200 (his guesstimate). As I'm short on funds, if this is the case, I may have to visit a salvage yard, and maybe I can get the specific part I'm in need of there.... if I can identify what I need, and if it's not too terribly difficult to remove this part from the junker truck.

wiper linkage.. connects the wiper motor to the wiper/pivot arm.
