[urq] Brown window switches ?

[Mike Sylvester]

The black switches are the same switch used in the type 44 '85-'91.
The '88+ have the raised vs depressed part of the switch swapped around.
Also, they do go bad.

I converted to the new style and have been using switches from the 200q
my 20v engine came from and have had to swap switches twice this summer.
