Re: 51-54 Wiper Washer Switch Parts

I don't have any photos of that particular switch. Believe they are listed as second type for late 53 and 54 in parts book From memory, built into the back of the regular switch is a little bakelite module with a wire pigtail exiting -- pigtail is long enough to reach the bottom of the shroud where the turn signal wires exit. The washer jar wires attach to the pigtail and to power.
The shaft for the knob has a hole thru the middle. The button on the knob has a steel pin attached and, IIRC there is a small spring but memory is fuzzy on that. The spring could be internal with the module. When you push the button the pin causes a contact on the module to close providing a ground to the pigtail and energizing the solenoid on the washer.
Here is an illustration of the knob.
