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 |

Here is the best solution in my opinion, using the new VW programmable relay. If you add a delay relay to your wipers, this is the same amount of work and you get all the benefits of modern electronics with variable delay without changing the appearance. Do you have a link for one of those VW relays? or is it just something like this.. |

I think I still have one spare. |
