I just went thru the same problem ( no park) on a 300C
here.
We removed the cover on the wiper motor and found the
plastic parking cam
stuck...dried grease in there...
I was able to clean off the dried grease, used a little
brake cleaner as a
helper, then used my fingers to wiggle the cam free...so
it works again.
Then re lubed with dielectric grease before placing the
cover back on.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Windshield washer and wiper
questions on 1957 300C
Hello All --
Now that the electrics are activated in my 1957 300C, I am
encountering
some questions regarding the windshield wipers and the
washer system.
1) The wipers seem to have only two speeds: slow and VERY
slow -- and
not much difference between the two! Is that "normal" for
this car?
Multimeter shows strong 12.5 volts to the motor and all
pivot points in
the mechanism are recently cleaned and lubed.
2) The wipers do not "park" when shut off -- I have to
turn the switch
off at just the right instant to get them stopped at full
down
position. Is that right? All other wipers that I am
familiar with have
a "park" function built into the motor. Do I perhaps have
a partially
defective wiper motor?
3) The car was equipped with the Jiffy-Jet washer bag and
foot pump,
but the old hoses were age-cracked and broken off so I
don't know
exactly how the hoses (larger diameter from washer fluid
bag, smaller
diameter up to squirter on hood) are routed, and
especially how and
where they connect to the plastic 3-port distribution
valve. Can anyone
send me a link to a good diagram (or photos) showing those
different
hose sizes and routing to/from the washer pump, fluid bag,
3-way valve
and underhood squirter? Where is that 3-way valve supposed
to mount?
We presently have it clamped at the rearmost mounting foot
for the brake
vacuum canister on the left fenderwell.
