I did the stupidest thing on the weekend. Wiper motor garbage!! 200

I found my leak in the passenger side compartment. It was the bushing the windshield wiper motor goes through. I decided to remove the motor and use some sealant ro seal the bushing again. After completing this I installed the motor back in. I had to play around with the wipers to get the arm back on the motor. They ended up being in the middle of the windshield as it was raing when I shut the car off. I turned the key and they went to park themselves, moved a bit and the fuse blew. I replaced the fuse again it blew. I tried everything and went through all my spare fuses. I then decided to take the motor apart. Low and behold the gears were cracked and the circuit that parks the motor ( the little plastic thing with the metal contacts inbetween) was shorting together because the plastic had desinigrated. Well looking back in my Bentley it warned to have the wipers parked before reinstalling the arm on the motor. Now I gotta get a new one from the dealer rush ($325 CND) because where I live it snowed and it was hard to see coming in to work today.
