Guest imported_Pertti K Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 The switch on right hand door doesn't perform too good. Usually only the map light over the glove box comes on, sometimes the front interior lights and only now and then the rear interior lights give a short "blink" when opening the door. Where can I get a new one, or is there anything I can do for the original?Thanks,Pertti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1963starfire Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi, I have a 1963 Starfire. My drivers side doorswitch does the same thing. Most of the time the interior lights come on but sometimes the rear onesdon't come on. Sometimes the map light switch in the console acts up. I think its tied to the door jam switch too.USApartssupply.com shows some door jam switches. You mightcheck with them. My catalog shows for 88 and 98 only.Hope this helps.

rocketraider Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Looking at this current ebay auction for a PAIR of used ones from a 64 Ninety Eight, I hope mine don't quit anytime soon. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEWA:IT1964 OLDSMOBILE 98 STARFIRE DOOR PIN SWITCHES 64Pertti, you might try using some TV and radio tuner cleaner on your switches. You'll need to remove them from the doorjamb and take the rubber boot off to spray the cleaner down into the switch. Spray it in then work the switch plunger to clean the internal contacts- battery disconnected of course! If you're lucky the rubber boots won't rip apart when you take them out of the doorjamb.

Well, it's closed anyway. Those seem quite different from mine, but probably just the rubber covers have dropped somewhere on the way... Or is this how they should look: http://pkh.photosite.com/currentwheels/IMG_2287.html ? Anyway, the lack of the rubbers is making it easier to spray cleaner in them, might try it without taking them out of the door jamb. Funny I didn't think about that myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrolds88 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi Perrti, Let me know if you can fix the switches that you have. AS long as they are two wire type, I have a stock of them (just have to dig them up.) Let me know. Since we last talked, I have accidently deleted your (and everybody elses) Emails so I dont have your emaill address anymore. Try what rocketraider suggested before you contact me about new switches. Talk soonGregmrolds88drhotwheels@mybluelight.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
