Hi,

The Heat Seater Switch is the wrong type. The Seat Heater switch is a DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) MOM-ON-OFF-MOM On to accomodate the 2 Heat Settings. What you need is a SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw) ON-OFF switch such as a TC, Lock/Unlock, Conv. Top, etc.

Why don't you just add the 4th Stalk because you won't be able to do resets with a single switch, only scroll.

I bought an entire 4-stalk unit from LA Dismantlers for $100. It was a pristine 4-stalk unit from a 996 (same-same, except the 996 has Auto Cruise Control) and they sent it completely assembled w/ Trim Pieces.

I removed the 4th Stalk (it just screws to the other three - the only one which does and not available from Porsche separately), added to my existing 3-stalk, swapped the escutcheons (3-stalk to 4-stalk) and sold the resultant 996 3-stalk piece on ebay for $135 + S/H - got my switch for FREE and netted $35 on the deal, enough to pay for the VW Motec Connectors and Wiring Harness, just to give you an idea. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
