CR assembly manual wiring schematic is wrong! The park switch, as described, shorts to ground, and blows the fuse. Finishline sent me the correct schematic for it. The ground connection at the park switch needs to be disconnected.

Off at the wiper switch is always hot. It connects to the park switch. When the wipers are turned off, power from the wiper switch is routed to the wiper motor slow wire. When the park switch is disengaged, the wipers are parked, and the power to the motor is turned off. Only the motor is grounded.

The park switch is not very sturdy either, and cannot be purchased separately. The entire $$$ motor has to be purchased.

I'm designing a microswitch operated park to go on the opposite end of the wiper rack tube to install next time I take the dash off.
