The big orange triangle switch should be for late 99+.
link (see Apps and Specs) But whatever. You know what you need. It's hard to believe the older one is more expensive.

The housing is just different. Later models use a large trim to cover the whole panel. Earlier switches are individual cubes like a VW. Di it fix the problem?

The closest earlier switches in stock were 4+ hours away, so they are shipping it. Will take a few days and I will update when I get it in.

Update: FIXED! I tackled the project yesterday. Happy to say it wasn't that difficult and the directions were right on. Hardest part was the stereo, and that was only because the aftermarket stereo that was in there was not installed correctly.

The harness is butchered and the stereo itself was sort of jammed and glued/taped in place with no dash kit. Please don't ever do that. If you do, I will get stuck with your car and have to fix it. I'm convinced of this because every car I buy is this way.

Anyway, I took the opportunity to correct the stereo install, install a dash kit (I had to modify it so the faceplate could open, I like how it came out though.), and get the hazard button changed over so the blinkers and hazard lights work. I even took a quick pic of it put back together.

Thanks again!

Adam
