I have a 1988 Vanagon Westfalia Syncro. Will this locker switch panel kit work for my van, and what exactly comes in the box?

Yes, this kit is designed for all 1980-1991 Vanagon models, including Syncros like your 1988 Westfalia. It includes the switch Panel itself (available in black or brown), the mounting bracket and support bar, an illumination plate, a logo plate, and the necessary circuit board with bulbs and installation hardware. This kit is specifically for adding the control panel function for your differential lock system.

The description says this kit doesn't include switches or the vacuum system. So, what do I need to buy separately to get my difflock control panel fully operational?

That's a great question! This kit provides the mounting hardware and the main control panel components. You'll need to purchase the actual difflock switches and the complete vacuum system separately. We offer these as individual components to allow you to customize your setup. Please check our other listings for compatible switches and vacuum system parts to ensure a complete installation.

I'm looking to upgrade my Vanagon's interior. Does the color of the switch Panel matter for functionality, and how is it installed?

The color of the switch Panel – either black or brown – is purely an aesthetic choice to match your Vanagon's interior. Functionality is identical for both. The kit includes a panel mounting bracket and support bar designed for straightforward installation, along with all necessary hardware. While the panel itself is easy to mount, you'll need to integrate it with your separately purchased switches and vacuum system.

My factory 4WD Vanagon didn't come with a difflock control panel. Will this kit allow me to add that functionality and is the lighting on the Panel functional?

Absolutely! This kit is precisely what you need to add the difflock control panel to a factory 4WD Vanagon that didn't originally have one. The included circuit board and bulbs are for the illumination plate, which lights up to show you the status of your difflock engagement, providing functional feedback. Remember, you'll need the separate switches and vacuum system to complete the setup.
