DC door / dome light switch(s)

Post by basketcase0302 »

Hey ya'll,

Didn't see any feedback on them so here goes...

Ordered the new switches from DC for my interior dome light, (the switches in the door).

All plastic switch, a little difference in appearance from the originals I removed.

The plunger on one of the new switches "binding" right out-of-the-box, but still works.

I guess they are a worthwhile investment when you consider I started with no light at all!

I ordered a plunger as well. Works just fine but it is white instead of the original black.

I order some more parts from DC just this past week. I am amazed at the customer service person's attitude. No warm greeting, no thank you for your business, no price on shipping, and no tracking number.

Maybe it is the nature of this business.

Do they simply snap in? Do they have a pigtail to splice to my existing wires?

Sorry. Had key board problems. The dome light switches in the door are terminated by a conector. Plug and play. :)

Steve,

Like The_Eman, said above.

No harness, (I wish, cause now I'm having problems with mine).
