2007 343 Anchor Nav Rocker Switch

My anchor nav switch has gone out on my 2007 343. I guess it is a switch that is no longer made. VJDK with 8 prongs. Every switch someone tells me will work is a 7 prong rocker switch and it does not work. The anchor/nav switch controls all the other switch lights and the dash gauges. Does anyone know where to find one or have a wiring diagram on 343 to rewire it? This has even the Cobalt dealer stumped!

That’s a tough one RDW.

Are you able to rebuild it? We rebuilt our engine hatch switch.

Yes provide a pic.

And so glad you found us. Welcome aboard mate!

Here are some pictures of the factory switch. It is an 8 prong switch. (2 were broken off while removing it) Only 6 of the prongs were used skipping one on each side. Below are some pictures. Thank you for everyone's help!

You might ask this supplier. Looks like a VJD1 is close and does the same task. The "exposed" cap just snaps off and back on the new switch.

VJD1 didn't work. It looks like it is going to be a rewire job to get a new rocker switch to work. Does anyone know where I could get a wiring diagram for a 343?

I have a 2006 and mine went bad too. Mine was a toggle switch, but same concept. Nav / Off / Anchor I bought a standard Nav light toggle, but it was slightly different, and couldn't figure it out, so I gave the switch to the mechanic. He said he had to make a jumper and now it apparently works.
