Need to wire my wipers. Want to use a on off on (High Off Low) switch. Have searched and looked at the diagrams but am getting lost. Figured out the sprayers but not the wipers.


Here are some pics of the wires I am looking at.

What needs to go where?

*Update*

Figured out the what needs constant power and what grounds are for high and low. "Updated the pics" But now I can't figure out how to wire the park setting. Anyone have any suggestions?

The whole wiper circuit is negative switched. So, when you turn the switch, it grounds various pins on the motor depending on where you set it (hi/lo/int..etc). Park is automatic within the motor housing. The motor itself is grounded, when you turn everything off, a little mechanical piece inside stays grounded until the shaft comes around to a particular point (park) which breaks the ground. It stays parked until it finds another path to ground, ie, you hittin' the switch again.
It's kinda a screwed up circuit. GM did it this way for years on most every car they made. It's kinda silly.
