81255056983 Rotary Switch

Multi-position rotary switch for MAN truck dashboards and control panels. Depending on the vehicle configuration and the specific position in the electrical architecture, this switch may control exterior light selection, rear differential lock engagement, hydraulic auxiliary circuit activation, PTO engagement, or another driver-operated function. The detented rotary mechanism provides tactile feedback at each switching position, preventing accidental activation of adjacent functions. Replacement is required when the switch produces intermittent circuit operation at specific positions (typically caused by worn contact tracks), when physical binding or stiffness develops in rotation, or when the detent mechanism no longer holds reliably. This is a direct OEM plug-in replacement: the connector and mounting geometry are identical to the original, and no wiring modification is required. Before ordering, cross-reference the switch position against the vehicle wiring diagram to confirm this part number matches the specific function and contact configuration of the unit being replaced — several visually similar MAN rotary switches have different internal contact arrangements.
