I have dealt with several TF units, maybe 59 is different. The ones I have tested have one wire and one cable which operates a hi/lo/park switch "inside" the unit. The one wire is the hot and the case is GND. The Maintenance manual shows one wire. Post a picture, maybe it is not a 59 unit? If 59 is different than manual, this is my guess:, one terminal would be hi, one low and one park if case is ground. This would mean you would have a switch on the dash not a knob and cable setup. But according to the manual, it is not a 55-59 unit.

the 58-9 electric wiper unit was a transition to the 60-66, unlike the 55-57 unit - pic here, and it does use an electrical dash switch .... no idea about wiring, but it may be in the 58 shop manual

I found 1960 and up diagrams say two wires from motor. One to ignition switched pos and one to wiper switch. A third wire may be for washer or 2 speed? One diagram says white to wiper switch and pink to ign switched pos. Do the wires have these colors? I think the picture from squeeze shows a yel and a blk. But they may not be pigtail leads just assy interconnects. Someone who has a 58/59 shop manual may post the info. Good luck.
