Default Help finding a door switch

I haven't been able to locate a new switch for the drivers door, the one that disarms the alarm. I took it out and tried to clean it but couldn't get it to work. Any ideas were to get a new one? The dealer said it was discontinued.

What I found is that corvette parts has something they call door antitheft switch but they don't have a picture to be sure. Ecklers has a left door alarm switch(I need the drivers door) but the picture isn't like mine. The switch is the same and the plug looks the same but mine has about 8" of wire and the one in the picture looks like about 18" and it has some extra holders and stuff. Cost is $27.99, part number is 28793 for the drivers door. I'm going to call them to see if the picture might be for a different year, either way a little extra wire won't hurt.

I have a 92 too... I love how the codes let you trouble shoot it to the switch!!!
