I'm assembling the column and I have 2. 1 came with the car the other I bought from karmann connection. The latter is complete and has the ignition key in it.
Upon inspection there is 1 wire missing on the indicator/ light flash side. The one with the car has a pinkish wire that goes to the very bottom of the switch housing. The one I bought does not have this wire. What is it for? |

Picture would help to sort through what you are asking?

These are the indicator & wiper wire plugs from a late 914:

 The colour of the wire is actually faded brown, likely to be an earth. It is the lowest visible wire, below this (invisible in this pic) is a black / blue wire. on my loom the brown wire corresponds to a brown wire with black stripe. |

I am pretty sure you are talking about the missing wire on the wiper switch. Missing wire is for intermittent wipers. They have a 5 pin plug. Aftermarket switches come with different color wires. They are supposed to be plug and play though.
