I bought two different kinds of door contact switches, based on what is listed in the PET catalogue. Then when I pulled the broken switch out of my door jamb, it was of the 4-pole variety, which is not listed in the PET at all.
  I have not been able to find this part anywhere online, not even a proper part number other than the "8842 K" that is molded into the plastic. Does anyone sell these? Or is there a good way of wiring a replacement switch that preserves the buzzer circuit? Or will I just have to disconnect that and wire with the later year 2-pole + ground switch? This is the relevant section of the wiring diagram (1972), in case anyone is wondering:  Any help would be much appreciated! |

Put a WTB in classified section. NLA everywhere. Never did find a VW cross reference for these.

The lack of a part reference is really strange - it's clearly stamped as VW part, but I can't find it described anywhere and there seems to be no Porsche part number attached to it either, or it would be correctly listed in the PET. |

It's too bad that they won't ship to the U.S. I was all set to buy a pair because my attempt to convert to 2 pole didn't work. |
