Try Red wire to switch terminal #1 and Brown wire to #4, ground wire on #6.

I need help with the wiring for the wipers, and the wiring diagram is of
minimal use.  The diagram shows four wires on the wiper motor: a green wire
on terminal 1, a red & lt. green wire on terminal 2, a brown & lt. green
wire on terminal 3, and a ground.  It shows the switch with two unlabeled
terminal plus a ground.

Now here is the problem.  I have three wires bundled together coming off the
motor - one is sort of red, one is sort of brown, and one is sort of green.
I plugged the sort of red wire into the red/lt. green, the sort of green
into the green, and the sort of brown into the brown/lt. green.  The
brown/lt. green and red/lt. green wires are plugged into the grounded switch
although I'm not sure which terminals they should be attached to.

The wipers come on the minute I turn on the ignition and remain on no matter
what the switch setting.  In fact, the wipers remained on even after
unplugging the red/lt. green wire from the switch!  I had to unplug the
green wire at the motor to kill the wipers.  Needless to say, I've got it
wired up wrong and need help.

BTW, is this a one-speed or two-speed wiper.

Thanks.
