			 I am trying to figure out what I have here. I noticed that there are two different wiper switches available. 70-72 and 73-76. 
			
			
					
		This is the one that is in the best condition. Notice that it only has four pins on the left side. ![]() I have already attached a switch that I got from davep, which will trigger my electric washer pump that I plan to install. ![]() This is the second one that I have. Being in worse condition out of the two. It has five pins on the left side. The extra one being a brown, which is ground correct? ![]() The switch is also different in that the plunger that would activate the washer fluid has an electrical contact ![]() I am running a wiring harness from a 72 car. Which switch do I need to use? Am i missing pieces from the first switch maybe? Im stumped here... Pete  |

			 A switch from a '77 924, Rabbit, or Scirocco works.  It's NLA, though.

			 [/quote] There are reproductions available. Not great but good enough. http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?Pr...C-111-953-519-G [/quote] Dang! I bought part # 111-953-519 H based on someones post here a long time ago. Every time I turn it on a fuse burns out. Good thing I really don't drive in the rain. Any ideas as to the difference between the G and the H models? Is there a way to tweak mine? The steering/lock assembly on my car is a 74 model. Car is a 75.  |
