Changed out both the Directional switch and the Wiper switch in the 914 a week or so ago. Seems to be working fine EXCEPT - the wiper return to off capability still doesn't work.
I have the following steering wheel, part number 914-347-8041, a hard plastic phenolic ?? wheel with the following return post, see pics. Seems the return post isn't long enough to mate with the switch mechanism. Is it broken off or is there another part I should be looking for ?? I've scoured the World for previous posts on this subject to no avail. Or maybe I'm still a rooking at looking Thanks all   |

Is the canceling tab on the steering wheel mounted in the correct position?
There are about 3 positions you can mount it in but only one works. The steering wheel hub can also be mounted incorrectly (the plastic hub that connects to the steering wheel and holds the canceling ring) Sorry, but I don't have a correct picture handy. |

Yes, the tab on the steering wheel has to be mounted so that it is on the same side as the white plastic cancelling mechanism when the steering wheel is mounted. In other words if you are looking at your steering wheel as pictured in your second picture, when you go to install it on the shaft flip it over from top to bottom not from side to side. Also don't over tighten the 4 screws that hold the lever in place that can cause the cancelling mechanism to bind up. |
