$183 sunroof switch?
 

Yeah so the sunroof switch broke on my mom's car which is an 01 mazda millenia S. It's a nice car, 2.3 supercharged v6, gets up and goes pretty good. Anyway I went to the dealershit to buy a new switch for it, and when that punk ass kid told me 183.30 I just about flipped ----. I realize the car is discontinued, but seriously WTF? Even if you manufactured limited amounts of extras, I can't see 183 being a justified cost.

I do know a bit about manufacturing and cost, but I can't see it for this ------- plastic switch. Man, wtf should I do?

Never Never Never go to a dealership unless that is the absolute last place to get the part and you absolutely need that exact part. they will ---- you hard.

clean the switch, resolder broken solder joints, check to see if it has any exploded resistors or anything on it.

Thats why I posted it. You dont have to use the beige trim.

Re: $183 sunroof switch?
 

Actually I might have to use the trim. The two switches rock back and forth in the housing where the trim is. It looks like the actuaing arms on the switches broke off inside the housing so I'm not sure If i can swap it or not. I'll see what's going on once I get the old one out and tore apart.
