I converted my wiper washer pump sometime ago because I'am using a 996 spacesaver,PO had supplyed 924 wiper switch #111953 519G with the car but not wired in,hence the questions
Pelicans how-to is a little vague in this are area,the Electroclassic EV site was some help.
This is a six wire switch, 4 of those are in the wire guide...all cool,2 others are red/black and brown both look like hot wires,it seemed logical to me ? to feed the red/black into the fifth spare slot in the wire guide...it does go to a corresponding mate in the female plug on the fifth lower pin.
I would seem that the spare brown wire is now redundant???,correct.
The EV site mentioned that the 5th wire in the female plug isn't live so my idea is to trace it back and wire to the wiper fuse for a supply....follow me? or is that wrong?.

If you have no relay and don't intend of using one, you could use that wire but it only goes half way. You will also need to modify the switch so the A wire goes to the extra pin instead of the intermittent one.
I strongly suggest you get a relay and wire it in place. Even more, get the VW programmable one and use the schematics I published.
This has 2 advantages:
1. you get intermittent wipers operation.
2. The wipers will automatically work few times when you trigger the pump.
It might look complicated but it's really simple.

Thanks again for your time,no short cuts always use relays when needed,would like all functions working besides,my only other issue is to reassemble the 924 switch that came apart.....

Got bogged down on the electrical after repairing the 924 wiper switch and then found it was toast,it appears the contacts are bad as I got the wiper to move once and then nothing,on reflection the switch was in pretty poor condition to start with...
One good thing having all the column apart I did get the high beam working (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) .
So in disgust I did some work on my gearbox then reached an end to that as I need a part to finish.
Back to the switch,I have the old air one and now think I will add the switching contact (thanks for tip Valy) ,besides I can't find another switch in my country ...so far.
