S14 Windshield wiper switch... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a Base s14... the windshield switch is a plain simple one that only has 3 speeds to it and of course pull for the nozzles... I was wondering if i got the SE windshield wiper switch would it be able to do various speeds on the timed delayed wipers?

thanks,

Davis

your asking (if Im not mistaken) if you switch out the wiper lever unit in the car for a SE version, will you get intermitten wipers.....? Hmmmmm..... I dont know, but I hate the fact I dont have intermitten wipers on my car....So I wanna know about this too.

Zenki model S14s require both the switch and the wiper amp, and you'll need to run one wire between the two for variable control.

Kouki S14s are prewired and use the same amp, only the switch is different.

Sorry for pulling up an old thread. So I'm assuming that the Zenki and Kouki switches are different? I've tried a Zenki switch on my 98 and it didn't work. Just wanted to confirm before I hunt one down. Thanks.

Nope, switch is the same for each model throughout the production span, base and SE. Sounds more likely the amp is bad, they usually are the culprit of a wiper problem.

The motor though is different and has a different plug, so Zenki -> Kouki or vice versa does not work.

Thanks. Now is there a difference between Zenki & Kouki amps? How about Base vs SE?

Yes.

95-96 base
95-96 SE
97-98 all models

The Zenki base model and Kouki amps are black, the Zenki SE amp is brown. Plugs are different between Zenki and Kouki models.
