I found mine on eBay $24 for both turn signal and wiper

There is a thread somewhere with directions for this. Boils down to two extra wires, and the plastic piece on the new switch is too wide to fit in the steering column. Just remove the white plastic piece, put on the old one, and route the two extra wires from the pump switch down the column. I did this, but haven't put in the pump yet. The wiper part works fine (better than the one it replaced with only low speed!).

10 bucks if you find me a 924 wiper switch for under 35 bucks....

Qarl wrote a tech article about this. It is on the bird board tech section.

it lies!

i read that the VW 74-79 beetle switch MAY BE the same...


but there are 4 and 5 wire varieties... how many does a 914 or 924 switch have??? and why does it STILL have tube hookups!?!?!?!?

VW part: VWC-111-953-519-G

Posted by: bd1308 Jul 18 2006, 03:12 PM

I just took out all of the plastic tube stuff and attached a microswitch with the lever thing onto the switch itself.

works.

want to do another pic? can you seperate the turn signal from it?

Posted by: Casper Jul 18 2006, 08:40 PM

Aaron,

How bad do you want a turn signal wiper switch? There is a 1977 924 in one of the local u-pull it yards that may have one. I could check it out either Thursday or Friday, (It's supposed to be 101 here tomorrow and I don't think I'll go searching for parts).

Another place that I know has them is NPR - Tekamah. He sells alot on ebay. The direct number for him is 402.374.2781, e-mail is NPRKIRK@huntel.net. His wife, Linda, will more than likely answer the phone or reply to your e-mail. His prices are a little high at times, but if you don't say you heard about it from me you will probably get it for half the price he would quote me. He will treat you fairly.

Hey Aaron,

Just trying to figure out the best way to do that without breaking any plastic. If I get it, I'll post the pic. I bought this thing a couple of years ago off of ebay but hadn't bothered to do the conversion yet.

Posted by: eg914 Jul 18 2006, 11:52 PM

The VW switch is the same, 111-953-519-G. I bought mine at Bugformance a couple of years ago. The old plastic is difficult to remove without breaking the tabs that hold the pieces together, but it can be done. I think it has both types of washer control to reduce the number of switches that need to be stocked.

Posted by: Stieve Jul 19 2006, 02:50 PM

It needs the extra red/black and brown wire, then you tyranser the 914 plastic connector to the 924's then you have the extra wires run where the hoses where. I know how to do it!
Equipment required:

924 steering column windshield wiper switch (111-953-519G)
Small 12 volt water pump (I used a VDO pump, 191-955-681)
Multi-strand copper wire suitable for wiring automotive electrical components. I used 18 gauge wire. (Red and black)
Plastic tubing
T-connector (one already exists between your washer nozzles), so you don't really need to buy one.
I can take a picture later if needed.
Wish they made replacement decals or something to replace the white lettering on the arms.
