TR6 wiper park switch-tr6

Anybody have a clue as to the installation of a wiper motor park switch? I am guessing it mounts to the wiper motor itself due to the small plunger type pin on the new park switch. When I connect the wires to the switch the wipers run...when I manually push the plunger in on the switch, the wipers shut off.
 
That's the way I remember it; just two small screws that hold the switch to the side of the gearbox. The little plunger sticks through a hole and rides on the big gear.

But it's been awhile since I was inside a TR6 wiper motor, so the exact details are fuzzy.
 
After looking at several views found in the Rimmerbros website under wiper motors, it was sort of clear that the park switch I was trying to figure out was located on the underside of the wiper motor...the plunger goes in to the motor gear via a small hole while the other end, which has a plastic peg, fits into a small hole. The trick is getting the small clip attached to the park switch which holds the switch to the motor to engage in the slot on the wiper motor while getting the prior to line up. I found by prying the clip open just a bit worked. Thanks all for the help
