Power Mirror Switch replacement

Post by VTSweetpea »

I need to replace the power mirror switch on the driver's door of our 2001 Concourse. Doing a search for a 2000 Ford E350 brings up the switch in the first picture below; however, ours actually looks like the second picture - which is a Mustang switch! Granted, they're both Fords and the Chinook IS the sports car of motor homes :lol:. I can certainly install one of the "Mustang" switches, if need be; but if possible, I'd like to determine if it's original to my rig or if it was installed as a replacement by a previous owner. If it's a replacement, I'd just as soon install the E350 switch. The reason is cost - $20 vs. $60! Any thoughts?

I have a 2000 Concourse and also have the second switch, the one you're saying is for a Mustang.

I believe that is a Velvac (Mirror supplier) switch rather than Ford. For comparison, here's a whole control assembly on EBay: https://www.ebay.com/i/333751056155?rt= ... and%3DFord

Yeah, it is from Velvac, like Clay said.

I would look at the electrical and dimensional compatibility, to make life easier so that I don't need to pull new wire, or cut/patch hole.
