[DeTomaso] Non-standard window switch help

[Charles Engles]

Dear Eric and Larry,

 

                Yes, that was my concern: there are hundreds of such switches out there.  I hope someone recognizes it and clues me in.  I do think that the next step is to pull the switch and check the size of the opening, then begin the task of finding one that fits….and then buying three or four to preclude another chapter in this dilemma as you mentioned.

 

                 Brother Alex told me that when he pulled the bad one, there were no identifying marks, etc, on the underside.  Sigh.

 

                             Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Chuck,

 

It appears that it could be one of thousands of some modern car window switches. Doing a search for "Window Switch" brings up many manufacturers and very similar looking options. I guess I would recommend just trying to find a similar replacement and buy three of them, and you will have a spare.

   Dear Forum,


                      I am trying to find a window switch to match the one
   in the picture.   It is in a custom interior.   Does anyone recognize
   these or know where I might search for such switches of similar size?
