The side light switch on my VX has given up the ghost. Not 'clicky' anymore. I'm about to order one off Ebay , but my question is, out of the switches from The Vectra b, which of the 'square' switches are compatible? Is it just the recirculation and frost swich, or most of the square switches? Ie, the heated window and heated seat switches. Thanks

Eliz sells new front fog switches. http://www.vx220.org...r/2854-elizp987
They are the same as the sidelight and main beam switch.

You just need to swap the front facade from the old switch to the new switch.

Buy 2 for peace of mind, as another failure will just be around the corner.

 

If you buy 3, i believe she will send you a personalized christmas card. :happy:

 

 

edit, when you remove the facade, be careful. In the highlighted location there is a tiny spring that will try

to make a leap to freedom. There is another on the exact other side.

If you think it is broken try taking it apart they are fairly simple to fix - you have nothing to lose anyway.
