[Spridgets] 2 speed wiper motor park

What makes this 2 speed wiper motor park?
It has 5 wires, of those 1 is a ground, 1 is low speed, 1 is high speed.
When hooked to a toggle switch, I have off, low, and high.
I still have 2 wires and neither works the park whether hooked to power 
or ground.
Since I am not thrilled with the stock single speed (s l o w) wiper 
motor in the 67, I want to upgrade to the later 2 speed set up.
I have the motor and made the tubes, it's the wiring that has me stumped.
Like I said, it works fine with 3 of the 5 wires, what or how does the 
park get wired?
I see the cam on the gear that hits the pin on the case that makes it park.
It is not getting wired thru the normal column switch, I want it wired 
to the 67 dash toggle switch which I have and it works on both speeds.
But flipping the switch to get the wipers to park gets old.
I am planning on 2 50th meets, one of those is in PennsylRAINia, the 
other is a 2 day drive and we all know it will rain for 1.9 of those 
days EACH way at highway speeds.
My 59 already has 2 speeds with intermittent, the 58 has original no 
speeds with Rainbow blades and arms, I will replace the arms and blades 
for the Missouri trip. And I already took off the Rainbows on the 67.
Original is nice but functional is better ;)
