Door jamb switch

[jos51700]

Only one time, in the 17 years I've owned my Dart, has the dome light come on when the door was opened (the harness suffered a meltdown). I have replaced the harness and reinstalled the timer delay relay and all that, and now all I need is the door switch. Every salvage yard car I look at is different from mine (I need the Driver's side switch, my Pass side switch is OK).

My car has the light group with the light for the ignition key switch and all that stuff.

Does anyone have, or know where to find, this switch? It's been awhile since I looked, but I believe it's a three-wire door switch. The Passenger side is a two-wire if memory serves.

Thanks!
John

I believe rockauto.com has them, which year Dart do you have? I also have an extra for my 1964 Dart GT unopened.

You must have a really late model or a high-option car, since multi-wire switches and timers. The one mentioned above sounds like the simple 1-wire switch that just grounds the wire when the door is open. Even my 1996 and 2002 Mopars are like that, albeit I recall the switches have 2 wires so they have a dedicated ground. If really stuck for parts, seems you could re-wire it as a simple on-off type.
