I'm installing a pump for the washer fluid instead of using the spare tire. I can extend the black/brown wire to the pump. Can someone confirm which wire that is?

I'd like to hook the pump up to the wiper stalk and not have to run a separate switch. I've read it can be hooked up so the intermittent wipers will run it. I have a '72; do I have intermittent wipers? I could not find any reference to them in the owner's manual, so I'm guessing I don't. I've included a picture of the wiper/turn signal assembly for reference.

How do I tap into the wire on my existing stalk?

I've read I can get a 911/924 wiper assembly and it will work. Is this true and will it fit my car? How does that option work?

Non of the wires.
There is no switch for the pump in there. You need a different switch that has an extra wire OUTSIDE the connector.

Correct that's why you need the 924 switch because when you pull back on the lever it makes connection with a second set of contacts which I used to switch my relay for the pump.
This switch has the wire already in the wire holder so theres no need to muck around running the wire inside the column,theres bugger all room any way.
The 914 one is without this set of contacts,not sure if the super beetle/ghia switch has those.
Some have used this switch to operate and intermittant relay if I remember right.

Hope that's some help,you can always go to pelican for the tech article on there with the part number listed,oh and just to confuse things more the mk1 Golf switch is the same also,I know that cause they interchange on the 924 and early 944.
