Default Replacement Jamb Switches

Looks like my '90 needs at least one new jamb switch. I tried pulling the plunger out with a flat-head screwdriver and spraying with WD40. The courtesy lights went off, and I thought the problem was fixed. Unfortunately, I got home after a long weekend away to find the battery completely dead.

Any idea where I can buy new jamb switches?

Thanks.

Does the spring work so the plunger goes in and out?

If so you can likely get away with shimming out the door jam where it hits with a piece of foam to help the plunger go in and turn off the light.

Otherwise check out some online catalog dealers for a replacement plunger switch. Be ready for a real workout. It's not easy to change. It's buried inside the door frame.
