   Suspect you already know this...   
      
   The old motor assemblies like what was on my standard wiper 1982 Chevy   
   K10 had a set of "park contacts" inside them.  Parking being completed   
   wiper in the down position after turning them off.

   My 78 Accord was like that with a separate interrupted circular contact   
   track that continued to power the motor after shutting it off until the   
   wiper blades reached the Park position, I cleaned and greased it when it   
   became sluggish.   
      
   This 91 Ford has only gears visible in the box, the Park power switching   
   function (which still works) appears to come from an electronic module   
   tucked somewhere under the dash. I'll have to remove the seat to get my head   
   under there, only a section of dash below the steering column removes for   
   access.   
      
   I just opened the gearbox and haven't yet made enough jumper wires to power   
   and test it without short circuit risk, the motor ran properly on external   
   power while installed. The Hi and Lo motor connections are direct and the   
   Park signal is the +12V or Gnd output of a switch that may be under the   
   output shaft gear.
