Default Seat Switch...

Does anyone know where I can buy a new 6 way power seat switch for my 81 vette? I posted over in parts for sale, but got no reply's.
I bought a used one off ebay, but it did not work and the pins on the back were all bent!!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe that I found a used one on eBay a few years back for a customer for about $100 and we were delighted to find it! I haven't seen anyone that makes them, so used may be your only option.

Good luck, and if you find a source, please post it.

Just keep looking. GM# 14009291

Also, are you sure its bad? My power windows were real sluggish. Last time I had the console out, I sprayed contact cleaner inside them real well. Work like new now. Years of Pepsi, Iced Tea, whatever.

AND, are you sure the motors aren't bound up? I took mine out, popped all the drive cables, cleaned the tracks, gear boxes, and lubed them up.. Works great now.

Big2Bird,
My switches just crumbled apart! The plastic housings were all cracked and the switches would work sometimes, sometimes not. Then they finally just stopped working. When I took the switch out it was in a bunch of little pieces. Thanks for the part number, I'll keep looking.
