Mirror joystick / control switch

[robsant]

My mirror joystick is faulty . Right sticks and down doesn't work. I have tested it on a meter, so I need to replace or repair the switches.

Does anyone know where to get one from please?

Give TVR Heritage a call, you can send them your original switch and they will have it tested and repaired where necessary

Fixed it!

I bought a 'silver button tactile switch' from Rs components part number 102-383

Removed faulty switch, resoldered new one back on.

All now works perfectly, working electric wing mirrors finally!

Sorry to hijack the thread but when did TVR start fitting those dinky little aluminium joysticks? My Griffs are 1995 and they have a horrible little triangular plastic jobs (Vauxhall/Rover/Ford...?) I've tried to Google your joystick but can't see it anywhere, I assume they are obsolete. Pete

My T-reg Chimaera had one. It was around the time the Tuscan was about they started using them.

Hi. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this switch & the mirror control module? Thanks

Original 'joystick' switch came from a Range Rover

Exactly the same switch has failed on my Chimaera, probably not helped by the grease applied by TVR to make the action of the 'joystick' smoother. 11 years on, that switch (C&K KSJ0M411 80 SH LFTR) is now obsolete and no longer stocked by either RS or Farnell.

After much research, it looks like there is an equivalent Littlefuse item, part number Y33R411N5FP. Datasheet can be found here https://www.littelfuse.com/assetdocs/littelfuse-ck-tactile-ksj-series-datasheet?assetguid=e4aef2e3-3c7a-4fdd-9bff-1b3b1fa173b5

They're not available from many stockists - I could only identify TME and Digikey (through their marketplace). As TME claim to have a few thousand in stock, I've ordered 10 to make me feel better about the £10 delivery charge, presumably from the EU.
