I suspect that 6V motor was just a single speed motor (although used 
with a rheostat for reducing that speed.) The 12 V motor is a 2 speed 
motor.

Each motor will have:

a ground wire
a wire for each speed
a hot wire to allow "parking"

You have probably not hooked up the last wire to 12V. This should be 
12V even when the wiper switch is off, but should turn off when the 
key is turned OFF.
