83 GSL mirror switch...missing needs replacement

Hi guys, I have no clue on where to get one, I tried the local junk yard and its always gone before I can get it. My window switch in the center console is missing the bottom part that connects to all the wiring. I tried ebay and no luck, anywhere else? Thanks.

Uh..is that the mirror switch or the radio speaker thingy?

If you just need the switch, I'll send you mine (I've got a new switch panel ordered that has a little cubby instead of the switch, which I don't use) for about $5.
That should cover shipping.
Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, this is the switch pictured above in the center console.

Thanks for responding but...

Greg: Thats the mirror switch for the side mirrors, not the driver/passenger switch (the one that is in the center console) I am looking for

Sam: Im actually only missing the bottom part of the switch that connects to the wiring, I have an 83 rx7 and that switch looks different from mine. If the back bottom switch is the same, I am very interested, could you take some pictures of the back part? (The switch is actually two peices, one is the toggle up and down part and the other is the wiring part)

Thanks guys!

Just to clear some confusion, Im looking for the switch that controls the BIG window next to your face in the driver and passenger seats. Samm, I checked my switch in my 83 and it looks different than the picture you have posted here, however, I only need the bottom part so if you could take a few pictures of the bottom of that switch for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Ok, lets clear some more confusion...

Do you need the mirror switch (as the thread title states), or the power window switch? The window switches are both in the center console, and the mirror switch is in the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel on the 83.

~T.J.

PS - If youre looking for the window switches, the switches are different from ??-83 and 84-85. The mirror switch would be the same though as far as I know.

EDIT: Heres a bad picture of my center console before I got my new camera (I was too lazy to go take another one ). The top two switches are the power window switches.

Again I know that the thing I posted is not quite the right deal-ie-bober... but here is a pic of the back. there are two switches with 4 wires per switch. They go down to one plug but i'm sure you could do some splicing if these are the right type of switches. Both swithes are up/down type that you can click one way and then they spring back to neutral... like a window switch.

Again let me know if this would help at all?

Also: I'll tell my bro to look for a switch at the yard, he goes 2-3times a week usualy.
