I had this same problem. What I found was the shaft bushings in the wiper
motor had worn so bad that the shaft would move laterally and disengage
the shaft mounted worm gear from the drive gear in the housing. The
park switch I think is mounted external to the assembly . When the
dash mounted switch ( single pole double throw) is turned off another
circuit is energized keeping the wipers on until a little ridge molded
into the drive gear wheel depresses a spring loaded switch that rides
on this gear. My guess is that there is nothing wrong with the park switch
or gear housing but you need to replace the motor.
Hope this helps
