Default Power door lock switch

Who makes or sells a decent power door lock switch? My last one didn't last very long.

If the switch wasn't switching I might have tried that that, but it has a short circuit inside.

If the part is an original factory part, I would still open it up to see if it could be salvaged. To my knowledge there is NO aftermarket part with reasonable quality/reliability level on the market. Willcox is working toward obtaining better quality parts, but I don't know if they have been successful yet, or not. You may want to contact Willcox for their status of this problem.
