Title: 2001 Headlight Rocker Switch
Post by: Elliott on September 29, 2021, 10:45:18 pm
I broke mine today while I had the dash tore apart for a different project. Has anyone replaced this particular switch? Part number is 511.091 but I'm unable to find it online, though this switch (511.093) looks identical:

MPParts | SWF 511.093 Rocker Switch | 511093 (https://mpparts.com/part/swf-511-093-rocker-switch-511093)

$50 for the damn thing kills me though.

Simple switch, maybe you don't need a $50 one

Thanks Roger, I found the last .093 model on ebay for $20. Hoping it's a direct fit for the hole in the dash and wiring harness behind it. I should be able to make anything work pretty easily at that point. Will follow up here once I know.

511.093 is functionally the same switch (plug snd play). It just has a cut out for a light. Original application was a windshield washer switch of some sort. I'm going to just  scrape the decal off it and call it a day.

If you look closely at the switch you currently have, there is also a cut out, it is just filled with black plastic instead. I was able to pop that out with a razor blade and inserted into the new switch.
