there might be a wire crossed inside....possibly.. The yellow wire always has power so it could be bleeding power to the brown or possibly the blue wire is giving the motor a signal to give the brown wirer power....

Welp
I realized I just bought a wiper motor off eBay. It's a lectric limited piece. But not sold by then So looks like you're right. Bench test it and try and find the breakdown and fix it myself without wrecking it...hahah

Fixed
I fixed it! It seems like that resistor wire is just supposed to go to ground and was inadvertently in contact with most likely that brown wire. Put it all back together and it runs and parks I can button the thing up and move on with my life!

I appreciate the help
I was pretty excited to have it fixed. The next job is to have my wiper door put back on and finish up my console and dash I wasn't putting it back together for good because I didn't want to get back into the wiring over and over and over for the wiper

I never had the door off but I had the grate out plenty of times. Dont get frustrated if the gaps are wonky. They were from the factory unless someone put some effort into the body work
