Lucas switch spring loaded
Does anyone know where I can get a Lucas switch as per wiper but with a second spring loaded action. Reason being,I can turn on the wipers & have a second spring assisted position to operate an electric screen washer pump. Possibly fitted to VP1300..

Re: Lucas switch spring loaded
Now your idea regards the wiper / washer Switch is a very good idea .. i also looked for the ideal dual action Lucas switch & failed to find one .

They do exist because I put one in my car, but I can’t remember where it’s from .

That’s the kind of switch the OP is looking for but there must be originals available , not sure how original this would look when fitted . There must be a Off On Momentary Lucas fitment available if even second hand .Tds76 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 3:29 am Is this the one?

Could well be what I’m after. Will call them & report back. As they say, with a Lucas Nut it would look OK.

Re: Lucas switch spring loaded
Q Has anyone taken apart the Lucas "Light Switch" to see if it can be modified so the second position can be modified to operate as a Flick Switch to control the washer pump? ..then to use the now ex; Light Switch as a Wiper+ Washer Pump control?

Re: Lucas switch spring loaded
It is what I’m looking for ! After calling them,they confirmed the operation of the switch . I will leave the Wingard pump in place so it looks right & mount a small electrical pump behind the baulk head sound proofing. I can’t understand why more owners would not want this set up. Thanks for sending the Link.

The original wiper/washer switch is a Lucas 34826
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.
