Still going through the 924s and I think I am missing the window washer. Any clue on getting this working again. Maybe some used stuff or diagrams would be great.
The first pic shows what appears to be an electrical connector under the hood near the washer nozzle and a cut hose to the nozzle in the background. The other two show where I think the reservoir should be.

87's had heated washer nozzles, which required electrical connections. your washer fluid tank appears to be missing.... so apparently, someone removed the entire set up, tank to nozzle..

It's not really hard to get it put back together, but you are going to need some items...

New washer tank and cap
New lines and line fittings
New pump
and new water nozzles.

It looks like I need to find a bone yard here in Los Angeles that specializes in Porsche.

I ordered the parts from these guys today so hopefully everything I need will be included.
In the first photo there appears to be an electrical connector, do you know what this is for or is that where the pump plugs into? Or is it the connector to the squirter button maybe?

If you are talking about the bit with the thick black wire coming off of it, that is your underhood light. . .looks like a bit of your old bulb might still be stuck in there.

Come to think of it the connector does look like a quick release from a bulb.
Good thing it wasn't a snake, I would of been bitten.
thanks again

It only works when the hood is open and the lights are on. Well almost, it will also work if the key is out of the switch and the turn signal siwtch is in the down position (left turn).

Finally put the tank in and attached some hoses so now I have window washers! Putting the tank in was not too difficult once I realized that jacking the car up and putting it in from the bottom was the way to go.
Guess you have to be smarter than the water tank'>)

Put the lamp in too but have not checked it with the lights on yet.

The antenna fix is next and I'll be styling'!
