On mine, the male spade connector where the wire connects broke off. :-(

Matt,
There is a way to fix them. Usually it is the little washer in the back that breaks apart. This is what holds the assembly together. Buy an assortment of similar sized fiber washers at the hardare store (I found them at Lowe's) and then make a small notch/cut in it to "snap" it on to the shaft..I repaired all three switches in my 308 this way...

Matt,

Chances are it's not broken and just needs some cleaning.

In fact, Ferrari UK lists this item as being no longer stocked.

Any ideas?

You know....the little button in the door jamb which turns on the dome light when you open the door because the button extends out. Turns the light off when you shut the door because it pushes the button in.

Anyone have a source for these? George Evans does not have the original push in style. Ferrari UK has it for just over 30 pounds (ouch).

Verrell, want my broken one so you can add to your list of parts?

-Matt
