Jeff,
Go for it. I think you would have plenty of takers, myself included. I have a question while we're at it. For anyone that has upgraded to an electric washer pump with a newer wiper switch.......does the newer switch have the same ability to set up for intermittent wipe? I'd like to do both, the electric pump and the intermittent setup. Aaron |

Sign me up, I'll take one! If you really think you might make this, please put me on your list for when they're completed. I want one.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |

Good Point Aaron:
Many cars have upgraded the switches to handle the elecric washers. Anyone know whether the intermittent relay set up will be compatible ?? I believe my car has a 924 or jetta wiper switch...definately not the original. |

I know it's been suggested elsewhere you can just run the electric washer pump off the intermittent cycle, but that seems to be a suboptimal solution at best.

That six block is the same as the rear trunk smog relay on the 75-76 cars. Look in the trunk under the latch for 'em.
Yep, I would be interested in the wiring harness as I have the other parts laying around. Which tab do you break off in the wiper switch?? Show a pic of this please. (this is why you get high,low, intermittant and still on). The real intermittant switches are high, low, inter and off, four settings switches. Geoff |

I'm in Jeff. For more than one. I'd like to have a few extras for customer cars. I'll be sending the KitCarlson harness after WCC. So get ready. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

There seems to be a good interest...I will plan to make up an initial run of ten or so after the WCC. Will post again when they are ready to ship.

Another question to ponder......
This thread shows a 4-wire harness, but the Classic thread Wiper Relay Instructions talks of a 5-wire harness. What is correct? Aaron |

brownaar,
the fifth wire is buried in the harness close to where you place the relay plug. I beleive it a brown wire I think. If you look at the harness (on 73 to 76) around where the wiper motor wires are and follow them back toward the outside of the car you should see a wire looped back. Follow & feel the harness for a small hump. That's where the "fifth" terminal will be. You'll have to unwarp or very carefully cut the harness to get it. When you get it out it will snap into the empty spot on the relay plug. It can be a pain trying to find it, just take your time. Ralph 74 2.0 |

Two questions:
Is there a test that can be performed with a voltmeter on the relay's wiring that would verify everything will be hunky-dory and avoid the problem described above. And, I had a Jetta wiper switch installed when I converted to electric washer pump. Can the relay/harness still be used ? |

Count me in for this if it could be done on a 70 914?

Small hijack..... I got a programmable later VW relay. It has an extra pin on it marked "I". I bent that pin to the side and plugged it in (it fits in the harness socket). So now my wipers auto-park, and they do the "3 wipes on wash" thing - both are functions that didn't work before. But I have no intermittent. I have a 924 washer stalk as well - and I had to do some mods to get that to fit in the 914 IIRC.
Anyone seen this type of relay before - or know what my dealio is? TIA. |
