I haven't seen this posted anywhere so I figured it may not be common knowledge.

After hours of research, I believe I have found an exact replacement for the power mirror switch. I believe the switch is made by Airtex. It is supposedly used in some models of Cadillac Catera but I was unable to verify that. The part number is 90432360. I found one on eBay and snagged it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-01-98-99-97-cadillac-catera-power-side-view-mirror-switch-90432360-/360676630233?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53fa009ed9&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true

The switch is actually pretty common in Germany for some reason. It was used in a vehicle called the Opel Omega B. If you do a search for that part number on http://www.ebay.de/, you'll find several of them.

I couldn't find any other switches with the amber light (what is that for anyway?) on the U.S. eBay site. However, the switch without the light is fairly common in the U.S. and is used in a few GM vehicles. I have confirmed it is used in some Saturns (including the Vue), some Saabs (sometimes with an extra button) and a very similar switch actually appears to have been in the Delorean (good luck finding that one)!

Here is a new one without the light: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AIRTEX-1S7613-Switch-Mirror-Door-Mirror-Switch-/360754997073?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53feac6751&vxp=mtr

I hope this saves someone a lot of time (and money). :)


you could most likely go to a junk yard and they won't charge for the switch, mine with the light was from a cadillac catera certain year I forget what it was though. Good idea to also grab the side markers from the same car.

This is a schematic for the Lamborghini mirror switch:

Are your other buttons OEM? The look like it.

The bezels look great. I somehow missed those for sale. How much? Are they still available?

Yes they are OEM window and lock switches.  I don't know if SchulzeA is still making them, you would need to check with him.

Sweet. The paint on the one I won is worn so I'll probably try to win another one later but at least I have something. Yours looks great!

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

I have that switch, mine came from an 03 Catera.  You just have to keep checking on EBay since the one with the light is not very common.  I think the light is for mirrors with heaters, but I'm probably wrong  ;D

Here is a picture of my switches along with the bezels that SchulzeA made for me.

anyone know how to wire these up?

Are you going to use the Audi or the older Murcielago switch?

Here is a simple diagram for a DPDT switch:

It's really simple to figure out with a multi-meter. I can draw a pin out if needed.

BTW guys, the pic of the switches Murci-Me posted a while back appear to be from the A4 & A8, as opposed to the A6. The A4 & A8 switches also appear to be the same as those in the later LP640's on.

Edit: It looks like some of the A6 switches may be the same and some aren't. I guess we just have to be careful.
You are correct. They are from the mid to late 90's A4, S4, A6. Here is the part number 4D0959855.

Thanks,
