Windshield washer system, Converting Options

[Morph914]

I took the steering column apart today to familiarize myself with the windshield washer system. It appears that the PO converted the system to a pump from the the parts I found in one of many boxes of parts that came with the car when I bought it.
I would like to utilize the existing control on the column to operate the washer if possible.







After watching Sir Andy’s video, it would appear that I can run a lead off of this black / brown wire that runs to the relay, to the washer pump and then just ground it near or at the pump.



And then I’m thinking about mounting the pump in this area, but hoping that someone will chime in to verify that I can do this or any thoughts on a better way

I am going to be doing this soon when i get my new pump and the new signal arm from 914sixer, and in order to use the stock wiper lever, i am going to try to install this switch from Carmagic http://carmagic.us/washer.html
so the switch will be triggered by the stock lever but the nose will no longer be hooked up to the column but rather just from washer bottle to the pump, and pump to squirters.

Good luck with your project. it will be nice to actually have squirters working.
