Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This switch is specifically designed for the Opel / Vauxhall Meriva B. Ensure your vehicle model matches before purchasing. It is compatible with the following OEM part numbers: 13422271, 13271692, 13359894, 1282768, 1241460, 1240806.

Setup & Installation:
