Hi, can anyone please help me identity this part and its function, I pulled the dash apart almost a year ago to fix the low wattage dash lights and new aircon ducting as well as a new set of gauges but because of work and life getting in the way, I can't remember how it goes back.
There seems to be electrical as well as vacuum hoses but I cant find anything in the wiring loom that looks like it should attach to these points.
I'd really appreciate some help and guidance.
I've attached a photo of the car before I started as well, thanks, John
It's an electro-vacuum switch that is part of the windshield wiper door mechanism. Nothing else like it in any C3 and it went way c. 1974 when the "complicated" windshield wiper door was eliminated. It's known as the bitch of a piece in the system to replace because it's buried in the dash.
Thanks, it's a 1972, all new chrome, leather interior, heaps of new parts, and a new paint job about six months prior to me buying it.
Heres a better photo.
Looks great
The solenoid wires should be a single flat connector with a single light blue wire and a 2 yellow wires joined at the connector (circled here on the right side, best pic I seem to have)
