Electric Windshield Washer Conversion 914, Complete kit Options

[rothaus]

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.

Ok, here is my recommended wire diagram for the washer switch installation. However, there are other ways to wire the switch.

Hope this will help.

Thanks

since several other members are dealing with this issue again , i am bringing it up again to ask if this relay will work? only difference i see is it has a 87 & 87b. that and the 85&86 are unopposed positions.

The only issue I see using that relay is the potential of the relay having a built in diode across the coil. If there's no diode you're good to go.

Adding a reverse bias diode will reduce sparking across the switch when the relay is released, potentially eliminating another problem down the road.
