Window switch
I know this has been asked several times on here.I searched but could never find a definitive answer and explanation.Will a window switch with the memory option work on a car without the option?The plug style looks the same with a couple of the pins being different.Anyone tried this to see if they will or won't work?Seems like the memory switch is WAY cheaper and more available.

I did buy one but they sent one without memory.I never got to try it as they sent the one that I needed.That is why I never posted a follow-up to the original question.

I looked at the FSM. They only show one connector for the driver side door switch. It has all the pin outs for the Memory design. I next looked at the passenger side connector and it is identical in design only many of the pin outs show as "not used".
My answer based on the FSM, you can use a Memory or non Memory switch in the drivers side.

Thank you for your time in researching this. I will buy the power switch with memory and plug it in to see if it works. Best case is? It works and I have no memory... since I didn't have it to begin with? No big deal. If it does NOT work? oh well... I'm only out about $100. I can live witht that.
thanks again!!
