Wiper won't Park

I have a wiper motor & switch that came with the car. Motor has a switch on the gear it is a 5 lug directions said High Low & Ground don't use the 2 lugs across from High & low.The switch is a 5 lug also marked B (2 lugs) H-W (1 lug) L (1 lug) P (1 lug) there is continuity between P lug & L lug when the switch is off position I belive.

Thanks Ken

You can buy a special switch from Finish Line for about $45, or if you're cheap like me, you can do it with a DPDT toggle switch and a couple of relays from Radio Scrap. Here's a diagram......

Junket, I'm assuming this is the Lucas motor. With the 5 lug switch facing you, you will have 2 lugs top, 2 lugs bottom, 1 lug left. This is how I wire the motors.

Top and bottom right lugs tied together and running to low speed on switch. Bottom left lug to high speed on switch, top left lug to power, Left vertical lug, remove blue wire from back of wiper switch and run the blue wire to ground.
I then use a 3 position switch with power in, high and low speed from motor to 3 position switch. You should have high and low speed and park. I hope this makes sense!
