Does anyone know if an Alto Works combination witch will fit on an MB? Im talking about the switch that controlls the indicators, lights, horn and wipers. (sits behind the steering wheel, Has the stalks coming out of it)

Thanks

Probably not, and if it did fit then the wiring would be different.

Whats wrong with your combo switch mate?

My combo switch is shot. The indicator stalk doesnt work, the switch to activate the wiper jets is missing and the horn is'nt working. The switch stuffed up when i was trying to make a tight turn in a parking lot. There was a big cracking noise and then i couldnt indicate. There is a ball bearing that sat behind the copper strip for the horn that shot out and i cant find and the plastic that houses the screw that holds the copper strip down is snapped.

I was supposed to get one this saturday when i go up to get my door, but it turns out it was an alto one, so i was just hopeing that it would be similar so i could atleast build one working switch or just replace the existing one. I might get it anyway and then see what i can do with it.

To answer my own question...No an alto combo switch wont fit on a MB. (too big) And as Brayden said the wiring is compleatly different, the mb has 19 wires, where the alto has 17.

They dont have a listing for the Mighty Boy. They only have swift combo switches. :( .Hopefully daronk18 will be able to get back to me with good news.
