Thanks, Russ. I should not have left this out. It's very important to make SURE 
there is no power to the wiper motor before you get your hands in there. Just 
turning off the wiper switch is NOT enough, there is still power flowing to the 
parking switch. You must either remove the battery ground wire or unplug the 
wiper motor wiring harness, ALL of it.
