Vemo V10-73-0108 Switch – Window Lift

The Vemo V10-73-0108 Switch is a precision‑engineered component designed to control the movement of vehicle windows with reliability and ease. This switch serves as the interface between the driver or passenger and the window regulator mechanism, translating a simple button press into smooth vertical motion.

Key Functionalities

• Bidirectional Control: The switch allows both upward and downward movement of the window from a single location, ensuring convenient operation for front‑seat occupants.
• Integrated Safety Cut‑Off: Built‑in electrical contacts interrupt power when the window reaches its limit, preventing over‑extension or damage to the regulator.
• Durable Contact Design: High‑quality metal contacts provide long‑lasting conductivity while resisting corrosion and wear from repeated use.

Design & Construction

The V10-73-0108 features a compact, ergonomic housing that fits seamlessly into the door panel of most Audi models. Its internal layout is optimized for minimal space usage, allowing it to be mounted on either side of the window regulator assembly.

• Housing Material: High‑strength ABS plastic with reinforced impact zones to withstand daily use and environmental exposure.
• Switch Mechanism: A spring‑loaded toggle that provides tactile feedback, ensuring the user knows when the window is fully engaged or released.
• Electrical Rating: Rated for up to 4 A continuous current, matching the typical load of automotive window motors.

Compatibility & Application

This switch is specifically engineered for a range of Audi vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Audi 80 (model codes 8C2, B4, 89, 89Q, 8A)
• Audi 100 (codes 44, 44Q, C3)
• Audi A6 (codes 4A5, C4)
• Audi Cabriolet (codes 8G7, B4)
• Audi Quattro Coupe and V8 models
• Other VAG Group vehicles such as SEAT and Škoda that share the same door architecture.

The switch is available in both left‑hand and right‑hand configurations, allowing it to be installed on either side of the front window regulator. Its standardized dimensions ensure a perfect fit without the need for extensive modification.

Installation Overview

1. Remove Existing Switch: Disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the mounting screws that secure the old switch to the door panel.
2. Prepare New Switch: Align the V10-73-0108 with the mounting holes, ensuring the contact pins line up with the regulator’s electrical contacts.
3. Secure and Connect: Tighten the screws firmly and reconnect the wiring harness. Verify that the switch engages correctly by testing both upward and downward window movement.
4. Final Check: Inspect for any loose connections or misalignments, then reassemble the door panel trim pieces.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodically inspect the switch contacts for signs of oxidation; clean with a soft brush and isopropyl alcohol if necessary.
• Avoid exposing the switch to excessive moisture or corrosive substances, which can degrade performance over time.
• If the window stops responding, check the wiring harness for continuity before replacing the switch.
