Wiper question

So I got the wipers working and then one day I hit my sprayers and it just hung open. Couldn't get them to park. After warranting the motor AND the switch after that happen the motor is not working in low delay. I can turn delay almost to LOW setting and it works but the slow delay does not. I do not think the sprayers are working anymore either. Obviously this is a wiring problem.. What do I need to be looking for? Or how should I go about rewiring this?

Update unplugged old car side plug from switch and ran my own wires. From that I couldn't get wipers to shut off. (Cut plug to use diode) Someone please help me this this crazy ****ing problem. It's been ongoing for about 3 months now. What the hell is the problem here? I noticed the top purple wire is getting power through plug on motor even when diode is plugged on. I can unplug the center with no change

sounds like the wiper motor cover is going south.

1 cardone ANYTHING is ***** right out of the box (think china).2 all wiper motors come WITHOUT the wiper motor cover. you can sometimes find a motor cover in good shape in a parts yard. but its getting kinda hard to do so .
