Hey all,

I bought an early year 93 MX-3 that I'm going to daily, it has 160k on it, and I just replaced the water pump, timing belt, water pump pulley, and a few other things.
However, the switches are completely gone in the driver's door, and I just need the power switches for the window.
I'd take the whole little panel if anyone has it, or just the switches if possible. I really don't want to drop $200 on a couple switches since that's all I can seem to find online, and there's nobody within 250 miles that appears to have an mx3 in a junk yard around me.
I live in Utah, and am happy to pay priority shipping rates, lmk what your asking price is.

Thanks!

Hey,
So the windows switches on these cars tend to go out after time. They are usually pretty high priced anywhere you can find them. I have rebuilt mine with a set of switches stolen out of a late 90s 626, and if you look through my posts you can find a link in there.

The Facebook page sometimes has them for sale. But they're usually snapped up quickly.

Thanks, are the physical switches the same between the late 90's 626 and the mx3? I'm not real versed with mazdas, came from a Chevy/Nissan background.

So here's my switch rebuild thread

If you look at this image, you can see that the OEM window switches are a row of 5 pins.

The 626 used a 3x2 layout for the pins instead (like this image)

I just built it off of what I had. The 6th pin is a second ground. I just ran a wire between the two ground pins.
Read the thread I linked.

Thank you!
