I heard this can be done but have not tried it. The differences are that the 924 switch has ony one rider for the horn and has the 4 and 5th wires swapped in the loom. I do not think this matters as those two are bridged when the left turn signal is applied.
Any body tried It? Attached thumbnail(s)

I bought a 924 switch and installed it about 9 years ago. It works great but I can't remember what I had to do. I seem to recall trimming some of the plastic wire channels off that weren't needed or didn't fit. It took a little work but it eventually fit. I realize I'm not much help here but it WILL work.
Cheers, Elliot |

Elliot, The connector seems to be the same on the one I have. But if you did it I guess it works. Bruce |

And if you have a copy of Hussey's "Tech Tip 700", there's info about it in there.

Just FYI that book says the 1975-76 switches do not interchange with any other year 914 but are a direct swap for 1977-81 924's. Don't see any other notations for other years related to the 924 switch. Something else I didn't know!

I haven't been drinking scotch, I just can't remember much from 9 years ago. |
