★ Essential component for correct operation of the electrical windscreen wiper system on the M201 with 24 volt installation.
Application
Developed for the Hotchkiss M201 with 24 volt electrical system. The Hotchkiss M201 was produced from 1957 onwards with a 24V system (earlier models still had 6V). The switch fits all later M201 models with the final 24 volt electrical system as used by the French Army.
Installation notes
The switch is mounted on the dashboard, to the left and below the windscreen clamp for the wiper motor circuit. This positioning is a specific feature of the M201 and differs from the early American MB/GPW models. Ensure correct wiring according to the 24V diagram.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for Hotchkiss M201 with 24 volt electrical system. NOT compatible with 6V systems (early M201, Willys MB, Ford GPW, CJ-2A). The M201 has a different electrical system to American jeeps and requires specific 24V components.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was equipped by the French Army with a 24 volt electrical system for improved reliability and compatibility with military radio equipment. This was a significant modification compared to the original 6V American Willys MB.
