Wiper Switch replacement 72-76 914, My suppliers say it's NLA is VW same? Options

[Root_Werks]

The part number I come up with is:
914-628-020-13

But the couple of parts suppliers I have say the part is no longer available. Is there a coresponding VW part that is the same thing? Anyone ever tried to track down a new one lately? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I have a box of them....want me to look for a gudun?

[blitZ]

I recently replaced mine with a used one, couldn't find a new piece. I believe they are different for various years. I have to cut mine a tad to make it fit. Also, only my high speed position works at low speed.

[Root_Werks]

Hmm, I have a couple of good used ones. I am looking for one for someone on the club(Headrage). I was hoping to get him a new one was all.

Allan, if I can't get a new one. I'll pick out the best used one I have for you. Seems strange, I swear the VW's used the same thing on all the type I,II and III's. You would think there would be a 411 coresponding part number for the 914 number? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Isn't the 924 one the same with the option of having power washers? I installed one and it looked exactly the same withthe addition of two contacts that cuold be hooked up if you want.

If it's for Allan, he can come by and get one from me...he can have the whole assembly out of the car.

Used should be fine as Aaron, Matt & Howie use him all the time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif)

Thanks for the other part numbers. I tried them all, nadda. Bummer. I guess if you have one and are willing to pass it along to Allan, that would be most nice of you. I could happily send him one. But I have a feeling used ones aren't that hard to find. I think I have 2-3 myself.

I still think it's a bummer you can't get a new switch though. I don't like that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

All of Slits' parts are NOS.........(after they've been thru the bead blaster)

I just recently replaced mine with a new switch from a 924. Call the folks at GPR. They have used ones but I chose the new one from the 924. It has an extra connection for electric windshield washer and has to be modified a bit to fit but it works great. Now I can hook up an electric windshield washer as well.
Cheers, Elliot

[Dr Evil]

The 924 one is really easy to fit. Skill level .02. I now have the power washer assembly (havent tried it out as it does not rain in my garage) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

[Root_Werks]

477 953 902 01C is the 924 part number. I am going to pick one up today and fit it to a 914 steering assembly I have. If it works, then I'll send it to Allan. I'll also post some pictures here it I have to mod it. Sounds like if I do, it's pretty easy.

OE part even. Cool.

[SLITS]

Yeh, but it comes from a wasser pumper, the lineage is now diluted ***gasp*** Oh the shame........I can't talk to Elliot or Allan anymore...it might dilute the juices just being around them.

[Dave_Darling]

Rich at HPH has tons of stuff; he might have an NOS one if you need it. Gary Emory up at Parts Obsolete in McMinnville OR might have it NOS as well. There might even be one in a "lost warehouse" somewhere in the southeast.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

[rhodyguy]

that would make a good tech article dan. fwiw, gary, parts obsolete, isn't really in the 914 parts much anymore. if you call, he will prob say " i might have that, come down and take a look".

[jim_hoyland]

Can the 924 swithch be adapted to work with the intermittant function ?

[Dr Evil]

Ya buddy. It looks exactly the same as the 914, but with extra for the power washers. Andy had a thread about how to go about this. It may be in the classics section. I t was the article I followed when I did mine.

[jim_hoyland]

Yeah; I've read over that article too. So you breeak off the little tab so the switch can go down one position and rewire per the article.

Was curious whether the extra wire used for the washer might have been the one used for the intermittant .

Will just have to test it.

[Tobra]

I know several folks with 914 steering wheels in their VW's. Wheel fit fine and cancel of signal works too. The steering column looks very similar too, my guess would be that the switch from a late model super beetle would work for the wipers, the '79 I had even had intermittent, and you pull toward you to make the washer spray the windshield.
