Will this fit?

I am looking to replace the panel light switch on my S3.
This is of the same size and type:

Will it just plug in and do the job?

I didn't think that switch was on the centre console. Mine (on a V8S) is a a rotary switch which is under the dash on the driver's side. Nevertheless it should do the job if it's replacing an existing one with a similar function.mk1fan said:
...... Are you sure the switch is broken rather than the resistors?
Good point. These switches are pretty robust and can be taken apart for cleaning. before you splash out on a new switch simply pull off the wires, work out which is the live and then connect it to the others and see what happens.v8s4me said:

I found that once they start failing then cleaning them is only a temporary fix.
If they were really expensive I'd persevere but for the sake of £15 or so I think I'll go for a new one.
