Title: Rocker switch replacement
Post by: dlkj07 on September 27, 2022, 08:53:43 pm
Searched a bit on here and think these are labeled 511 rocker switches correct? The only problem is what I'm finding online doesn't seem to have the same back as these. Anyone order these from 3rd party or is this a FOT only call?

Also... if I get a generic one, has anyone swapped out the rocker? Doesn't look like they come out of the switch, without trouble and breakage anyway.

FOT stocks them. One call and you should be good. I think the labels are removable and can be put in the new switch.

1. Those are Valeo rocker switches. They aren't anything special as most any truck shop should have one, now they may not have one that is labeled like the one you have. They should have a blank one though. Here is a link to the Valeo catalog so you can look up the exact number you need to order the switch with the correct labeling.

2. yes there is a way to change out the window

There is a member that is a truck driver (can't remember which one) that posted some time back about changing out the label window but I can't find that thread this A/M. If I stumble across it today I will post that for you.

Well I give up as I haven't been able to find the thread. I might have imagined it.
