Bummer...Ecklers and Corvette Central both have the right side switch but not the left side (shown as discontinued on the Corvette Central web site).

I just replaced my power door switch in my '87, which is also used for the windows, & thought I'd be so helpfull mentioning that. Now I see it's just salt in the wound, sorry.

Put a want to buy add over in the parts section and/or check with some of the dismantlers in the vendor directory is the best I can offer.

Good luck

Where in Canada?
I have bought new ones from Tracy Performance Vette in Roseville, Michigan. Info: 586-772-8893 , Fax: 888-FX-TRACY , Order Line Only: 800-UC-TRACY

I live on the border of Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario.

When I need things, I go over and buy them, and show the parts I bought to Customs on the way back into Canada.

Fairly easy doing it this way!

If you need more info, you can send me an email to:

Default Is it just not connecting?

The contacts can be cleaned, restoring the switch to functional. I could send you a loaner for you to use while I clean yours, or just swap with you paying shipping both ways.

It probably just needs to be cleaned. Start there. I recently bought a 1995 low mileage car, passenger side switch only worked in down. I was able to get it working simply by flicking it up and down a bunch of times, leading me to beleive it is just corroded and when I stop being so lazy I will take it out and clean it correctly.
