Question on 85 k10 door switches
« on: January 18, 2015, 06:09:11 pm »
So I need new door switches LH & RH. I was looking at replacements. I only see replacements with two terminals like what the LH side uses. Can I use that same one for the RH side that only uses one of terminals?

yes im sure the two terminal one is for the left side to connect to the right. wont do it no harm if only one wire is hooked up. its just cheaper to make one than to make two different styles
