Pre-90 window switch for 95 moonroof?

[wlafeen]

Yes, the switch for the moonroof in my '95 broke. Does anyone know if I can use a power window switch from a pre-1990 Taurus/Sable to replace it?

I've read about the repair using the NAPA switch; the NAPA switch looks just like a pre-1990 Taurus/Sable power window switch. I don't mind having to use the NAPA switch, but I'm just wondering if the Taurus/Sable switch would require less modification to use?

Has anyone tried this?

The Napa switch is worth the effort I like it now that I did it.

An 86-91 window switch works perfectly as a replacement for the sunroof switch.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. Since you both had success with both the Ford switch and the NAPA switch, I went to both Ford and NAPA and checked both switches. They are exactly the same - may be manufactured in the same place. So no, the Ford switch will not require any more or any less modification than the NAPA switch.

The NAPA switch sells for $12.00 and the Ford switch sells for $14.00 (here in Minnesota anyway). The Ford part # is E6DZ14529C.

The switches are manufactured by EATON for the OEM switch.

If the NAPA switch is made by EATON it is exactly the same, so save the $2.

I have a ton of those switches laying around. Let me know if you want one, I can do much better than $12 for a switch
