Ok,

But if the resistor (connection) is in series with the wiper motor, and
the wiper motor draws a constant amount of current, then won't
increasing the resistance result in a higher current draw through the
whole circuit (since the wiper motor still draws the same amount of
current across it's connections)?

I've seen bad wiper motor connections cause fuses to blow.  Maybe it's a
violation of Ohms law, but it's worth looking at.
