Need a cabby electric window switch

Post

Back to the top
Hey folks,

Just bought a 1990 cabby and it's missing an electric window switch. Does anyone have any idea where to go to get one?

I think I've narrowed down the part # to 155959855A.

Happy to be here,
Rich

They come up on eBay for silly money.


I always thought the early Corrado ones look remarkably similar. Different part number though:

When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the whip. The term has now been generalised to classify any automobile.

Thanks the_whip , I've clocked them on eBay too.
75 quid a little steep for a switch 😅

There's a bit of a trend for crazy mk1 prices lately, but you do get realistic ones from time to time. I've seen switches for £30 in the last couple of months. I just save the search on eBay, and let it update me daily on anything new.

Ace! Thanks – appreciate that link.

I've got my hands on a cheap as chips Mk2 window switch. Have seen some posts mentioning it should wire up OK – might take a … alternative mounting solution.

If you're gonna go that route I would try a Corrado one. They are the same shape and size, and the the plug is the same.

I haven't t tried plugging mine into my mk1 loom as my car is being worked at one.
