Dome Light

Heres a tedious one....
The little button that the door pushes when it closes so the truck knows to turn the dome light off is frozen on my truck. So the dome light never goes on when the door opens. I have tried WD-40ing the plug and pulling it out with pliers, but that didnt work. Anyone have ideas? Do they sell a replacement stopper dooflickey? THANKS -NICK

Dome light

Its called a door jamb switch. You can take the old one out with a deepwelll socket. They are like $3 at any auto part store.

Yup. The wiring just unplugs from the backside and, voila, you're done!
