I can maybe add a little to this from what I’ve figured ou over last few months.
My 544 (‘62, so 12-volt) also came to me with an Amazon wiper switch and I could not get it to work with the 544 wiper motor. I also wanted to add the Windshield Washer option to my car, but I learned that apparently all 544s came with the standard 2-position (on/off) switch, and if a customer ordered the washer option, that was a “dealer-install” kit, so a tank + pump, and a different 3-position switch was sent to the dealer for install.
I could not find one of those 3-position switches anywhere. Apparently they are quite rare.
Sources you can get a 544 wiper switch from are going to send you a 2-position switch because that was the “OEM”part, so to speak. So if you want the park to work and also washers, best option is a standard 2-pos switch with a push-button switch under the dash in easy reach. That is working great on my PV.
