914World.com _ 914World Garage _ /6 wiper switch wiring

Posted by: michel richard Oct 26 2005, 08:05 PM

As part of my /6 restoration, I am re-doing the whole wiring. I'm now looking at the steering column and associated wiring. I have 2 wiper switches, both the correct part number:

The problem is the connector at the end of the little bundle, at the right in this picture:

I can find nothing in the main wiring harness that would connect to this plug. The wiring diagram that I have shows both the wiper and the blinker switches as one item, and does'nt really help. I looked at the PET parts diagrams, and can't find help there either.

Does anybody know what it is that I am missing, or can't figure out ?

Thanks

The steering colum wiper lead plugs into a bulkhead receptacle, that comes right from the -6 wiper motor.
914-6 only wiper motor.

OK,

I knew there was something I did'nt understand !

I believe I have a /6 wiper motor, in one of the boxes, so that should not be a problem. I'll go look and let you know.

Thanks

The plug on the wiper motor looks like the plug for a round relay. It fits in the hole where the windshield washer hoses come through the bulkhead on the /4.

The harness on the six will only have a lead for the power to the wiper motor, nothing else.

I have found a /6 wiper motor, and I now remember that Jon Lowe had said it was different, although I could not remember why.
Here's a picture, in case it's of interest to anyone. The special lead is the one that's a little higher. There's a big rubber grommet/fitting so it can be fixed to the bulkhead.

the other lead is for the washer pump.

Jeff,

Thanks, I had not yet figured that one out either !
