Back in the sixties and before I got an engineering degree, I once built things. Replaced the ignition with an electronic ignition. (Concept of points and condensor drove me crazy for the longest time until I finally discovered that points were only a switch. Why didn't they say so in all those books and shop manuals?) Built two different types of buglar alarms (one that would stop working when temperature dropped below 36 degrees). And built intermittent wipers. All these things were not offered as factory options back then. I could not understand why since I was even doing it and the design was not that expensive.
That wiper homing switch was a real dog (as I remember). Solved the problem by spiking the motor with tens of amps applied very quickly. That was enough to get the motor off its (shorted to ground) home position.
