On the Porsche 914 the original windshield washer is operated by compressed air supplied from the Spare tire.

Here is the switch that replaces the original valve in the steering column. With this switch installed, an electrical washer pump can be operated with the wiper switch.

I got some requests if it would be possible to have a complete kit available. So I put together a complete kit, and also have now options. It's not yet on the website, however here is the information with the options and prices.

Option 1: Switch only - $15.00 PLUS $5 s/h
Option 2: Relay kit only - $35.00 plus $6 s/h
Option 3: Switch and relay kit - $50.00 plus $6 s/h
Option 4: Option 3 plus pump - $72.00 plus $8 s/h

The switch is pre-wired and includes the mounting plate and some washer for adjustment if needed.

The relay kit includes all wires, a fuse, and connectors, shrink tubing, bolt to mount the relay, as well the disc for the filler cap.

The wiring is very simple. From a fused 12 volt source (fuse panel) run a hot wire to the pump positive side. From the pump negative side run a wire to the switch. From the other side of the switch run a ground wire to the multiple ground stud near the fuse box. I am not sure what the switch rating is, so a relay could be added to keep the switch current in line with it's rating. I came up with a mounted switch years ago to do this very task.
