Maybe it's because I've had a couple of drinks, but in looking at the wiring diagram for the wiper motor, it looks to me like there is a short to ground created every time the wipers hit the park position when in low speed through the NC contacts in the relay.

You're right. I'll try to upload a fixed diagram tomorrow.

Here is the wiper diagram fix.

Viperwolf - I had built this circuit (I think correctly) per the previous revision in the original thread, however the wipers would not park when flipping the switch off, they just stopped. Could this update fix that problem or do I have another problem? Bad relay maybe?

And sorry to hijack a little, but I have a second question. I wired in a toggle switch for the reverse lights. I borrowed power from wiper circuit, then spliced the toggle switch into the wire for the reverse lamps...as soon as I flip that toggle, the 20A fuse blows (wipers were not running at the same time, but I had run them and cut them off just before flipping the switch)...is this too much power? Do they need their own fuse?

This is about the last thing that needs to happen before I can pass inspection...

I followed the latest drawing by Viperwolf and it worked for me ! Thanks Viperwolf !
