A power mirror remote control switch includes a switch body which supports a printed circuit board and two stacked, insulated levels of conducting terminal fingers which extend over the board. A four-way position control key overhangs the terminal fingers. The control key is pressed to flex selected terminals into conductive contact with underlying portions of the printed circuit board, thereby establishing conductive connections for energizing motors which rotate or tilt at least two power mirrors. A sliding switch is provided to define which one of the two mirrors is to be moved in the direction defined by the position control key.

A rotary switch includes a stator, rotor and shaft for the rotor. The stator has a complex conductive matrix formed of criss-crossing conductive sections integrally joined together and integral with a central annular ring. The annular ring in turn has radially inwardly-extending switch sections. There is a non-conductive support member for the matrix, with the matrix and support member having respective and cooperating openings and projections for positioning the matrix on the support member. The rotor has a plurality of pockets with contact members positioned in at least one of the pockets and arranged for electrical contact with portions of said matrix.
