I guess you've grounded directly to one of the terminals while you
shouldn't. The wiper is grounded by the three bolts to the firewall and
the three terminals are +12v, low and Hi. If I recall correctly, the 12v
is the seperate one (yellow in the schematic). The switch has to ground
the other tho in order to change wiper speed.
Do a little wire swap and it should be ok. Look here:

If I pull the motor off of the firewall, it works just fine. First position
of the switch clockwise is high, and the second position is low. Works
great.
The motor is attached to the firewall by three screws. There are rubber
grommets that the screws are threaded through. The grommets did not come
with the rebuilt motor, so I recycled my old ones. They are in fair shape.
I am guessing they are needed to avoid grounding the motor on the firewall.
After I reattach the motor to the firewall (one of the screw holes in the
firewall has the remnants of an old screw in there, so I am only using two
screws for now), power up the harness, and turn the switch, the fuse
immediately pops
