Has anyone tried to install an electric windshield washer pump on a 914? I just bought my first 914, to be used as a daily driver, but I have owned several older VW's. Even in the 70's, I got tired of not having any pressure to wash the windshield, and a flat spare tire.

Check in the classic threads there is a thread all about installing a windshield washer pump..

i did, and i used an early 924 wiper stalk so when you pull on it it engages the pump.

Hard to find the 924 stalk now. I bet I could convert a stock 914 to work if anyone wanted to send me a test subject. I could document it for everyone.

I thought the late 914 stalks had unused switch contacts in them that could be used for an electric pump.

I remember doing this conversion on my previous car (1976) and not having to change or modify the stalk.

924 switch has 2 extra wires....

go to pelican and look up Qarl's tech article

at the top of the page, click "914 info"
then choose "tech articles"
Sir Andy did a nice write up with pics

yep, you can definitely modify the stalk,

There's even an extra pin that u can use for the V+ on the stalk connector
