914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What Does This Button Do?
Posted by: ThreeV8s Jun 3 2018, 06:25 AM
Any ideas on what this button next to the driver side speaker (on the clutch side) does/did?
The PO mentioned that it had a dual carb set-up at one point so wondering if it had something to do with an electric choke, but purely a guess.

Does it have an electric windshield washer pump?

does/did the car have rear reflector? trunk release for cars with reflector.

No washer fluid pump.
It’s possible that it had a rear reflector, but doubtful based on the impression I got from the PO. Hesitant to bother him with this, but might if I can’t get it figured out.

Follow the wires. May go nowhere now.
You may be able to re purpose it for electric water squirters, if its not already.

PO knows that you can’t turbo a 914 so he installed NOS

Panic button?

I wanted to close the loop on this for anyone losing sleep over the purpose of the button. 
I didn’t see a pump. The owner of the shop I bring it to had told me a while back that he wouldn’t fail it on the state inspection for not having a windshield washer set-up, so I assumed he looked too. Therefore, I assumed there was nothing there.
I hesitantly ended up reaching out to the PO as I needed to know. Based on his response, it was for a washer pump and he forgot to mention it since he hadn’t used it in years.
I’m not going to try it until right before the next time I wash it, as I don’t want whatever is in there on the paint.
I truly wish it had any of the things in the replies, but I’m just not that lucky I guess.

It's the flux capacitor bypass. It explains the dual carb set-up.
