Powerfold window switch

[Rover418275]

I have had one on order from Rimmers placed on 1st May, just chased up the order below is their response:

We are still waiting for stock of these switches to arrive from XPart, our supplier, and we unfortunately do not have any estimated delivery date (we have had them on order since February). It is the switch pack for cars with power folding mirrors.

I will soon be drawing my pension at this rate !!!!!!!!

My car was parked up for 4 weeks and the new calcium tech battery was as flat as a pancake. I investigated the quiescent current and found after allowing 20 mins for all the systems to power down that there was 120ma draw and 20ma draw with the autofold kit connected and not connected.

So be warned.

I am now looking once again for an original oem switch.

I've built a kit that uses no power when not in use. Just need a set of powerfolds to test it on. The problem I have is money.. Or the lack of it.

Same as ZT-T190 back boxes. When I phoned for both the silencer and the switch I wasn't given the option to place an order. Perhaps I'll try again.

XPart are having problems with some items,
mainly those that are not requested much,
and the original suppliers in some cases have "gone" in others, won't produce a limited run for a Price that anyone would pay.
The switch panel being one of the problem items (with Powerfold).

Dare say they will be on EBay soon..........

Hi John,
I'm also on the lookout. What's your source at 249? Always worth a call and seeing if the price has come down ...
Cheers,
Julian.

I should be ordering a set of powerfolds next month. I'll publish the descructions when I've tested my solution.
