has been done before using Astra Mk4 switches mounted in the mirror switch area ...like this



keep meaning to do this myself but never got round to it..would think its only extending the wries from the existing switch to the new ones


oh and relocating the mirror switch

<!--fonto:Arial--><span style="font-family:Arial"><!--/fonto-->Yeh I was hopin it was as simple as extending the existing wires, but could you have the centre switches working at the same time as the door switches? Baring in mind they are runnin on the same wire?<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

<!--fonto:Arial--><span style="font-family:Arial"><!--/fonto--> <!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

<!--fonto:Arial--><span style="font-family:Arial"><!--/fonto-->Was thinking along the lines of getting identical switches to the centre switches, and making new hole in the door card, maybe where the arm rest bit is……leaving the mirror switch where it is<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

<!--fonto:Arial--><span style="font-family:Arial"><!--/fonto--> <!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

<!--fonto:Arial--><span style="font-family:Arial"><!--/fonto-->Any1 help with the wiring and whether it wud work?<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

not sure about them both working..and don't forget the original switch has a PCB under there ...it is about 3 inches long, so would need a good bit of room

and have no idea about the wiring, not done it (yet) so cant say

didnt aldo do this to his calibra

[V6Grrrr!!]

do the astra mk4 swithces fit snugly into the hole for the electric mirror switch?

or is a bit of cuttin still involved?

No idea as I have said I have not done it...Aldo has, but not sen his car for 2 years and cant remember .

What you do need though is a left hand drive door handle, so you get the mirror aperture on the passengers side

I would think one would need enlarged a wee bit as the drivers side will be a double switch
