I remember the name...

We used to have many parts warehouses around here... Sometimes when I was in a hurry for a part, I would pay the parts store and they would let me go pick it up at the warehouse...

Even the parts stores made three runs per day to the warehouses for parts... Pretty convenient to get parts in just a few hours...

Sun also used to be downtown... I think it may have been close to the tool and die shop my grandpa ran...
 
Man slow in here today. Every one in the food bank lines?
Nope. And that’s one thing I’m really grateful for my grandmother for teaching me, canning. Been doing it for a few years now on a much smaller scale but we have enough to last for a while. Plus I’m still employed and getting paid.
 
Any of you guys or gals know how the mid-gen door jamb switches are installed or removed without twisting the wires up?
Not much access to remove the connector from the switch until its removed.
Hold the button down, use a Ratcheting wrench and loosen the nut. That’s what I did on the Polara to replace the harness

Don't think these switches uses a nut. The hex is one piece with the threaded body

Doesn't seems to be. I looked in a couple. I've also looked through the harness install assembly diagrams. They don't show the switch - just the connector.
It's a little weird. Must have been obvious to the guys (gals?) on the assembly line.

The connection part can spin in the body if not seized up. But spring tension is enough to turn the wires till they wrap up a bit. Even if it is completely locked up, there should be enough wire there to turn it out. Plus, they probably twisted the other way some going in.
