Door PinSwitches
I am looking for replacements on the OEM alarm and also courtesy light Pin Switches for the doors of my '76.

Re: Door PinSwitches (SanDiegoPaul)
I purchased the Pin Switches in the doors about 10 years ago from Ecklers..
Just checked and they are 9.99. Part# A9575
Sorry, you did say 76.. Part# A9576 and 3.50 each.... That is much better

Re: Door PinSwitches (rreavis)
Thanks Mucho. Now, identification. There are long, post-style pin switches at the front, near the hinges. These I think are for the courtesy lights.
Then at the bottom of the door, to the rear of the car is another much shorter switch with out the post style mounting. And on both doors they have rivets on either side of the switch, even though the switches look like they just unscrew with a 7/16 wrench. :eek:
Are they screwed into a metal piece that is riveted to the Glass body? And are these rear switches the ones for the factory alarm? :hat

Yes, the switches at the rear of the jamb are for the door ajar light and the alarm. They screw into a metal plate that's riveted to the fiberglass.

Kewel! Then I don't have to worry about ever-so-gently trying to get them out and find out that it looks like BUBBA was there later.
Thanks guys! :seeya :chevy

Re: Door PinSwitches (Cali,77,L-82)
Has anyone ever had to repair the metal plate? The threads are in a poor condition on mine, and I can't keep the door switch from coming loose. Cause the Door Ajar light to flash intermittently, or stay on sometimes.
I tried cleaning up the threads but the metal is thin and of poor quality.
Thanks,
Jeff
