I believe there are a couple of harnesses involved, the in-door harnesses (which also include wiring for power locks & windows), and a crossover harness from one door to the other. I didn't bother with the factory harness, since the wires were already cut off on the mirrors, I just built my own. >Anyone have the switches available used? I got one with the mirrors, the guy who sold it to me said that particular switch came from a Dasher, same part # as the vanagon. Probably the same part # used on all VWs (and possibly Audis) of similar vintage.
>Is it just a hole in the door panel? Or are they special door panels? My '85 had a pre-cut hole in the panel, I just needed to cut through the vinyl. I have no idea when VW added that cut-out in the panel material, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise; since I was worried about how I was going to get the switch positioned in the stock location. Good Luck! Tim
