Wipers not parking

I have asked this question before but am still having trouble so can anybody help me please. I have a Mini wiper motor which I have changed the cam on so that it parks on the correct side, the problem is that it refuses to park at all. Both speeds are working and it stops but just will not park, I have changed the microswitch but this hasn't helped. I understand that the parking side of things should be live when the wipers are switched off but where should I get this live feed from. Any ideas please?

The tiger diagram shows the links well but doesnt show that the column or dash switch must connect 2 and 5 on the mini wiper motor when in the off/park position. There is a dedicated Lucas switch that does this or the standard sierra switch will do it if wired as shown. The washer wiring is not as shown for post 87 column switches.

Might be worth asking Premier Wiring. I fitted mine as per their loom and instructions and worked first time. Other thing to make sure is that the gear is able to contact the switch. When I stripped mine to clean and regrease I forgot to fit a washer that holds the driven gear in place, too much endfloat and it would not work the park switch.
