Default Replacement Jamb Switch

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement driver's side jamb switch for a '90?

I took the fuse out to keep the interior lights from popping on. That's been fine, but it'd be nice to have use of my radio, heat, and A/C again

At this point nobody makes them. I bought used from ebay. There are several vette specialty junk yards you can buy from.

I guess if I have to get one used, I will. But there's nothing after-market that's comparable?

Check and see if the rubber coating on the switch is worn off that rubber closes the switch just the right amount when the door is shut.

I at first shimmed my switch out, then I found a small rubber cap in my tool box that fit over the plastic plunger and now the light doesn't come on problem solved.

I'll give that a try. I think someone else suggested using a #60 O ring. That may do the trick.
