Trim switch buttons
I am working to secure a source for replacement buttons on the trim tab switches. Mine are badly yellowed from sun exposure in Arizona where my 382 was previously owned. New switch assemblies retail over $40.00 each from Formula. Buttons are available directly from Honeywell for about $6.50 each in white, black, red, blue, green, and yellow.
I have noticed discoloration of several others in pics here and thought I would check if anyone else is interested in ordering replacements.
There was a change in the switches sometime after '99 and the replacement buttons are different on the new style. I will try to find when the change was made.

Re: Trim switch buttons
I may be interested because I have the same problem. The 3 sets (6 individual) switches for tab, trim, etc on my new ride (98 312) are yellowed as well as the steering wheel. If you can get these for $6.50 each in white I'm all in. At $40.00 each I'll keep my eyes out across the water. Let me know what you find out.....Thanks for thinking of the fellow Formula owners!

I'll do that......white is what I need. I was going to replace them and look for a place to get them, but if you have that already figured out, let me know! I'm a 2001.

Re: Trim switch buttons
Check out Honeywell website "switches and controls" section. TP series if I remember correctly. I spoke with them today to get prices. I need to go back in and ID nearest retailer in my area. My switches are discontiuned with a new replacement. But it appears the buttons are still available and just need to pop old ones off, snap new ones on.

Re: Trim switch buttons
I finally found the page I believe you were refering to. Now I just need to figure out which ones are the replacement switches.
Thanks.

Yes. If your switch is model 2TP38-7, the "cap" or button is just pressed on and held in place by two dimples on each side of the rocker. You could probably just put a spring hook under the button and pop it off without even having to pull the panel up.
The new design looks like its a little more complicated (progress, right?). I do not yet know when the change was made, but I'm looking into it.
