Default Courtesy/Door Ajar Switch

Drivers side rear door switch is broken on my 1975. Pulled it all apart and ordered new switch, plate and grommets. But the switch only has 2 terminals. But there are 3 wires. Light Blue, Dark Blue and white. My wiring diagrams all show 2 wires. What do I do with the extra Dark Blue Wire?

Third wire gets connected to the mounting plate as a ground.
