So now that I have the wiper relay, the intermittent wipers are intermittent even in the off position! Not sure what is causing that. Any ideas?
Also, when I pull the wiper stalk, I hear a relay click but only when the wipers are in the intermittent position. I thought it had to do with activating the wipers while in the wash mode but I would think I'd hear a click when it was in the off mode as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Edit: I should have done a search first regarding the ground wire. Does anyone have a photo of where this ground wire is? |

I know the piece dropped out on me as well, but that was at least 3 years ago and I have no idea where I put it.
So today I went back to the pick-n-pull and grabbed the wiper switch out of the 924. The bad part is that 924 switch is a 6 wire vs the 914 5 wire BUT I swapped the plastic conduits and put a terminal on wire #6 (red/black stripe)which is 12 volt out for an electric washer pump! The other bonus is that the ground can't fall out of the 924 switch. The other interesting thing I found was that there was a stop in the 924 switch that didn't allow it to go to the intermittent position, yet I got the intermittent relay out of the same car. Did Porsche make intermittent wipers an option, ship the relay to control the park function of the wipers on all cars and then charge for the removal of the stop?  |
