Dear All,

I own a 1969y corvette convertible in Japan.

Anyone Please teach me how to use headlamp washer and W/S/W for1969 corvette.
I read "original owners manual" However, understand to operate both washer unit
I have no idea how to use WASHER button located on center dash.


Thanks,

Chihiro

 

Moving switch to right activates the wiper arms, pushing the button in should activate the washer system.

 

Thank you for reply and hints.

Please teach me, how to operate the "Washer Diverter(either W/S/W or H/L/W)" by the dash center washer button.
What's the difference to activate procedure the H/L/W and W/S/W?

Please help me...

Thanks,

 

I don't know what you are talking about, on a factory 69, there is one switch and several speed settings, pushing it in activates the pump. The pump is the item, not the switch, that provides flow to the windshield and the headlights.
Your description sounds like you have many settings at the switch, not factory sounding. Can you post a pic? I will try to post a pic of an orig later today......................Bruce

 

Thanks,Thanks,Thanks to your reply.

Sorry, I do not finish english

Washer jar and oroginal 5 port valve does not yet install to my car.
I wanted know how to use Washer system because I will installed original 5-port valve when I performed Frame-off restoration a few days later.

'69 corvette "Owners manual" page 16 said below,
NOTE:If the lever held in the depressed position, the headlamp washer system is actuated and fluid is squirted onto the low beam headlamps instead of the windshield.


When a headlight is rising while I keep depressing a button, H/L/W activates, and when a headlight is down, does W/S/W activate?

Thanks,

 

OK, I get where you are coming from(trying to say). It doesn't matter if lights are up or down, they will still get water squirted on them, no valve to control this from the pump. The pump controls the squirting, a line runs from the pump to the arms and one to the headlights, gets split and split again for the lights.
By the way, a 5 port pump is incorrect for a 69, 69 had a specialized pump setup and if you need pics of that refer to here, I posted a pic of it in the post. 69 pump had 3 ports, and in the pic you see another pump off to the right, this was supplied by the main pump and one line out of it went to the arms (split) and the bottom line out of it went to the lights.............

What you wrote from the owners manual might be true, might be electrically linked to the washer pump extra piece and only activates when lights are up, I will have to look at my wiring diagrams. But you need that setup for that to work, not a 5 port pump or any other if it is an electrical thing. That extra pump does activate electrically, so maybe it does work that way. Mine never work, arms or lights, and I haven't finished restoring my pump yet. I will look into it, but it does make sense. Write me off forum, I will try to get some pics to you..................................... ............... ratdog42 AT comcast.net

 

Thank you,

I know the connection method of the hose well. However, I do not understand a change operation way of the 2 washers in cockpit.

Because my English is too bad and does not come, I try to examine it by myself afterward.
Your answer will be to help future my restoration project very much.

Thank you very much.

 

If I understand what you are saying, there aren't 2 washer switches. Is this what you are saying? Cockpit meaning interior, or cockpit meaning the engine compartment?

 

Sorry, I'm poor at the explanation.

I think you have understood my question.
Cockpit means "interior dash center W/S/W button".

I think it never seems that both WASHER(W/S/W and H/L/W) activates at the same time by 1 switch. Therefore I'd like to know those changeover method.

below is my 2 question,

Q1.The operation method which makes W/S/W squirt onto front windshield by the dash center button.
Q2.The operation method which makes H/L/W squirt onto Low beam Headlamp by dash center button.


I'm sorry to give trouble many times.

Thanks,

 

A picture is worth a thousand words whether it is English or any other language.
PS: Good choice on the ‘69

Push the button and both work.

All this has got me thinking, what was the purpose of the extra nozzle when the main pump had the correct amount of ports to do the job?!?!?!?!? Is the extra pump in any way attached to the headlight circuit to activate only when lights are up? By what I had on my car, and your drawing of the pump, the headlight hose is on the non needle controlled side of the pump, next to the main pump inlet hose, mine was like that when I removed to restore. The wipers are on the outer nipple, giving me the impression that if that pump failed the wiper arms would not squirt, CORRECT?!?!?!?!?! PLEASE TEACH US!!!!!..........B
OK, by looking at your schematic, is the red wire the connection between the lights and the washer pump?

 

Thanks for your attached picture.

Headlight washer pump? I think, It is the headlamp washer solenoid for divert to WSW and HLW.

According to the description of HOSE CONNECTION DIAGRAM of "1969CORVETTE GUIDE BOOK" which I have, WSW operates when a button is not pushed, and it is written to be switched by Headlamp washer solenoid to HLW when I push the button.
therefore when I do not push the button, It is always WSW to be linked to windshield wiper activates.

Is this thought correct?

Thanks,

 

The wiper washer and the headlamp washer both work from the center dash switch at the same time. You can not operate one without the other one.

corvetteload:

The headlamp washer pump and the windshield washer pump work from the two same wires, yellow and dark blue.

The red wire inside the car is only an indication of where the main power feed is supplied to the wiper motor.

The windshield washer and the headlamp washers are only controlled by the wiper switch and operate with or without the headlamps in the on or in the upwards position at the same time.

If you go to the web site version of this schematic you can enlarge it and view it in better detail. In the lower right hand corner when you open the picture should be a 100 percent, just click on the arrow next to it and enlarge it to 200 and you will be able to read it better.

The yellow wire is the power wire for the wiper motor (center terminal) as well as the power for the washer pump. When you press the wiper switch to the wash position, you are completing the ground on the blue wire which engages the washer function.

I hope this makes sense.
