I made my own with two three pole double throw switches. One controls speed, one controls on/off. It requires being able to read the factory switch schematics and come up with your own. My wipers functioned like factory except one of the switches broke because I damaged it pulling the dash out last time.

isn't the wiper park problem usually in the wiper motor, faulty ground on one of the mount screws?

Ground strap to body, I cleaned mine up and it works. Had to use the original switch to get hidden park though.....bought a kit car switch with standard park on it and it allowed for park but wouldn't drop the wipers to hide them
