Trying to Wire Tempo wiper motor so it parks

I have a 1989 Ford Tempo windshield wiper motor in my 62 Impala Wagon (don't ask why....just know that I shaved the firewall so I put this up under the dash). I have a Ron Francis 4 wire switch with a place for a "park wire". The wiper motor has four wires. When I hook it up, the motor runs on low and high speed but it won't park. The wires coming from the motor are red, white, blue and black. I have put the black wire on the switch post that says "park wire". Any suggestions to make the wipers "park". Thanks!!!

I'm probably be shooting in the dark here.

1. Take, the cover off the gear mechanism.

2. Now throw the whole thing away. Ooops, never mind.

3. There may be a couple of micro-type switches operation off a cam arrangement that you should be able to see in acttion and trace the wires for proper hook up. And don't be stick'in your fingers in there when it's running.

4. If this doesn't help, refer to number two above and never mind the never mind.
