When you put the motor back together, you didn't put the lever back 
on the gearbox in the right position. You need to let the motor run 
and then "park" itself in it's correct stopping position, then loosen 
and reposition the lever, in the position where it places the wipers 
properly when parked. This position is called out in the Bentley, but 
assumes that the motor/gearbox is in the "park" position. When you 
put things back together, the position was random, even tho it was 
properly parked when you started.

CAUTION!!!!

Do not touch any of this without disconnecting the battery ground 
cable. The park switch can catch you by surprise and the linkage is 
perfectly capable of taking off a finger. This is not a silly 
warning. This is real.
