The window control switch on the driver side stopped working for the driver side window. I was trying to "encourage" the switch to work and I broke it.



Does anyone have an extra control piece? Not the whole thing, but just the top part that has the switch on it.



Am I making sense?

Mine broke a long time ago. The only way you're going to find that one switch is to go to a junkyard. Any early 90's Mazda with power windows will have the switch. Mazda only sells the whole unit(I think). In the meantime, you can just pull it apart, and use the switches on the circuitboard to roll up the windows.

Do most of the 93 to 95 Mazdas have the same window control switch? IE, MX6, Miata, etc.

Sounds like the best route.

The whole unit is different, but the switches and mechanisms are the same, from what I've seen.
