This is what my 71 service manual says about your problem and possible solutions.
Condition:
Motor stops in any position when instrument panel switch is truned "off".
Possible cause:
A) Motor park switch failure in the open position.
B) Open parking circuit or open field circuit.
Correction:
A) Replace motor assembly (two speed) replace park switch and gear ( variable or three speed).
B) Test continuity of blue, red, and green wiring circuit and correct as necessary.
I hope that this information is helpful.
Jim

Very common problem on the two speeds. Park cam is probably toast.
At last check, there were no more reman units out there. I haven't check recently though.

I have a used 2 Spd.Wiper Motor & linkage I bought years ago and do not need (I have 3 spd.) How can i bench test it ? Is it worth anything as a core?

remanufactured motors are available - cardone 40-350 should do it.
