Regardless of the position of switch, the motor runs. They don't park and they don't stop. Here are pictures of how I've got the plug for the motor and the switch wired.

I used 16 gauge wire. It seems to me that the wires get warm/hot. Not sure what I've done wrong. The orange wire takes the place of the brown wire in the schematic simply because I didn't have brown 16 gauge wire.
Help!!

If anyone else is running into this problem, here's what fixed it for me. Looking at the wiper motor connections on the right side of the schematic, swap yellow with brown, then swap white with green. I had assumed that the wiring was shown with me looking at the plug on the wiper motor, but it appears to be reversed.
I flipped those wires and I have a 2 speed wiper motor working fine. No extra wiring, no extra fuses etc.
