Surely Logic Should Prevail Here Guys . . .  It's always in the Motor 
itself as
 it has to have a mechanical Link to know when it has come to the end 
position !
Most Motors normally have a set of contacts that are Closed when the 
motor is
not in it's Home/Park Position and that open when it is in it's home/park 
position.
One side of the contact goes to an ingition switch controlled 12V and the 
other
goes to the "Low" speed of the Motor, hence when You turn of the wipers 
in any 
position other than the home/park position the motor has 12V applied to 
the Slow 
speed until the motor reaches the Home/Park position when the contacts 
open 
and hey presto the Motor stops.

P.S. Just to Confuse You I suppose the Contacts in the Motor Could Go Via 
a Relay !
