    Can someone confirm for me if the interior rear dome light switch is a momentary switch (only on for as long as you hold it) or if it’s a latching switch?

    Looking to use it as a latching switch for a project on a 360 so I just wanted to confirm.

    The one in my 1995 is a momentary switch

    Surely no vehicle manufacturer would create an interior light switch like this? If it's momentary, it will probably have some kind of controller... or something is broken.

    The parts manual shows two part numbers (for vehicle assembly number 22917 and before and vehicle assembly number 22918 and after).

    I stand to be corrected ;)

    I can confirm that this switch is indeed latching now.
