What year 944 is this? On the early cars, the washer switch is separate from the turn signal/high beam switch.

These go bad over time, but you can probably get away by replacing it with a good used one. Only need to take the steering wheel off and gently pry them apart (check the Haynes Manual).

Also, be sure to check the wiring around the pump itself. I replaced a switch once when in fact the wires were shorting out. Good luck.

It's a 86. I removed the turn signal/high beam switch(because it was always on high beam), drilled it out, cleaned it up, re-revitted everything and now only the pump doesn't get any power.

Hi, just found this list, and grateful for any info. My car is a UK-delivered 1987 944S with lots of miles and years in Australia. The windscreen washer part of steering-column combination switch has failed, only closes to about 40 ohm resistance and won't run the washer motor. The switch (944 613 5110) has rivets that could be drilled out - but - I wondered does anyone know if dismantling/reassembling these switches is feasible / needs special tools?
Saw your bit above re the switch - were there any flying springs or other things to look out for when you took it apart? How easy isit to get back together?
Thanks, Tim.
