You need a switched power wire- connect to the wiper motor- probably yellow wire. I have suggested this before.

mine runs back to the fuse block and ties into one that is only hot when the ignition switch is on. seems like it just plugs into the front of the fuse block there in the middle. i'll go have a look at it later.
