Sad sign of the times..............

One was a Meyle and the other a Uro, both from different suppliers. My logic function took over when the switches both ILLUMINATED with the child switch plug removed and bridged as a test. This tells me the switch is configured incorrectly.
I think ALL of these switches are now products of the Sum Ting Wong Mfg. Co. ...
On a side note, the aftermarket rear door switches seem to be OK.
