Default Switches for Z226

I am looking for new switches (or dials) that control the blower, dimmer and navigation lights on a 1997 Z226 model. Does anyone know how I can purchase?

    The "search" function is your best friend on this site. But in this case have a look at our Mariah Parts vendors list.

    I actually ordered new switches from iBoat.com per the specifications but the middle dial is an issue. This is the dimmer dial switch that allows you to change the brightness of your dash. This one is missing the handle to turn. But this one has a different handle configuration than the blower and navigation dial handles. The actual size and type of post coming out of the switch is made differently. Any suggestions?

    You can also reference the following picture of the console center where the dial switch handle is missing that I can trying to replace at...

    ...and note the I replaced the existing handles (blower and navigation) with new ones (not the switch itself but just the dial on the front). And these handles do not fit the center dial switch.

    i would have assumed that all three were the same. Hopefully someone here with a similar switch arrangement can check theirs & chime in here.

    Mikeyt,
    While on the subject of switches... My dimmer switch seems to not be working. I can turn the lights up with the rocker type switch but once I let go they dim to the off position. I thought something may have gotten caught under the cover so i inspected it and nothing. I pulled the switch and noticed it is a circuit board controlled rocker switch. I have access locally to purchase the covers of these type of swiches but the switch proper i can not find. I have tried going throught the vendor list posted on this sight but nothing.

    Any other ideas where to purchase this switch? I don't have a picture of the actual switch but do have a picture of the style.

    Also there is a black box below fron right bow seat that connects to my in dash electronic compass. Is the black box the actual brain and my in dash gauge the repeater?

    Thanks
