Default wiper door

I have posted about this recently, but let me explain all that I have done.
I have installed new wiper relay valve,wiper door actuator,wiper door interlock switch, and new vacuum hoses.The wiper door opens upon starting the car and stays open till I manually disconnect the wiper door actuator. I am hopelessly frustrated can anyone help me with this problem
Thanks
George

Here's the link to the troubleshooting guide. http://vetteworks.tripod.com/techdocuments/Vaccum.html

It sounds like one of a couple of possibilities.
1. incorrect hose connection
2. vac override switch pulled

Possible a switched hose behind the dash - perhaps to the solenoid that
is connected/grounded to the back of the tach. Easy to see - just flip
your body upside down and look at the solenoid that is attached to it.
Check valve is a possibility - also make sure limit switch isn't being
pinched by misc hoses. The relay under the RH wiper has one hose
opening that is suppose to be that way. Good luck!

Checked the overide switch its pushed in. I don't understand it worked perfectly till I changed the wiper motor. I hope its not the solenoid I was looking parts up in some books and that is discontinued in all of them.
