just getting around to putting wipers back in my truck and bought a new motor today. From what I can tell I have the park setting and the high and low settings. I can jumper the 12v between the park and high low setting and then ground both sides. From what I have read the motor is ground switched, not 12v switched.

Is there anything else to it? I was gonna just wire up the low speed at this point as I don't have a three position switch. I was gonna skip the park feature all together but read that it can be a PITA to get them parked without it.

Any suggestions.
 
The motor should self park. From what I remember, if you pulse the low speed, it will make a full sweep and stop. You just have to have a long enough pulse to get out of the parked position.
And I believe that you are correct about being going switched. I think that you may have to have the motor grounded.
 
so I have a rudimentary set up for my trip up to the snow this weekend (alligator clip to ground to turn on and off lol) and it appears that the motor has two speeds that are ground switched and the park function is a result of the jumper over to the park module. I haven't hooked that up to confirm yet, but I have them working.

Sort of. ha ha
