Door jamb switch? Where can I get one?

[SmoothCustomer]

Mine's real flakey (the one that does the dome light and the door open light on the dash. Auto parts stores do not have them, and I'm not going to pay to have one shipped. Does anybody know where to get one? I know it's the same as a 1g.
Thanks

Junkyard? You can pull it out and clean it up too.

I have two that are brand new in the bag, I got them with a car I bought a few years ago. Let me know if you want one.

 

[SmoothCustomer]

That's a good idea actually there are plenty of 1gs around in our yards. They are all still too far away though to bother. You have PM though.

 

[Hertz]

They're very simple switches... it'd have to be really messed up to not be fixable. Pull it out (remove boot, 1 screw, unclip) and just clean the contacts, maybe regrease, reinstall.

Don't forget to regrease the contacts, that keeps the contacts from arching and wearing out over time. Easier to do it once and forget it.

stm sells them new here check it out clickey

That doesn't look like it will fit. Have you used these on a VR-4?

i s#it the bed i did not notice the 95-99 sorry my bads. on a side note i just noticed my title maby its just me but i dont get it.

 

[Hertz]

It might fit, maybe someone with a 2G could let us know.

That was a quote from a craigslist ad you posted.

I forgot that post. Now I will always remember.

That 2g switch is an upgrade & fits 1g's perfectly. So if gvr4's use the same switch as a 1g then it will work. That 2g is sealed plastic unit much better against corrosion.

Crap, wish I had seen this post earlier. I just got home from stm.

Quoting Hertz:

[SmoothCustomer]

For Christ's sake. You posted it in a thread in the ag section. Click.

i under stand that i posted the link for the ad on here i misread what hertz wrote i took it as if he meant i posted the craigslist ad. thats what i was talking about

 

[Hertz]

I know that wasn't your car. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif If it was, we'd ban you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

So what did we learn today? 2g door switch should be a direct replacement for VR-4s ... and... check your title, you never know when it will change.
