Hello all,
I have a Lotus esprit turbo SE 1991. I need to change my three window switches. As my Lotus dealer here in Switzerland ask for an unbelievable high price, I'm trying to find out where these switches come from (Toyota, Opel...) .
Any information would be very welcome.

Thanks, Serge

afternoon...little confused...what "3" switches? I can think of the two which make the windows go up and down, but not a 3rd...or am I being really dense?

Yes,

2 switches on the left door (driver) and one on the passenger's door. I guess my limited English doesn't help...

The price is 120 Frs. for each switch, about 70$ or 50£. I have no doubt than if I buy them from the original constructor, I will pay far less. I did it in the past for the central locker, an Opel GM original part.

Thanks for your help !
