84-87 Park-Brake SWITCH?
Several years ago I needed a replacement Park-Brake SWITCH, GM#14047181. My local Chev Dealer had no-stock(no surprise), and said GM's Warehouse in Canada also had none(slightly more surprised!). My parts guy checked inventory with all the Chev/GM dealers in Eastern Canada, and found one 14047181 listed at a Dealer across the city. I made a quick trip and scooped it up, and installed it myself. Problem solved - except if I ever need another Switch! All 84 thru 87 Vettes use this 14047181 Switch. From the look of my original switch that failed, all of these are prone to metal fatigue/failure on the switches brass contact-arm!? My question to you all - Does anyone know of another source for this P.B. SWITCH?? Or a reasonable substitute? I can find none from GM, or the aftermarket. Thanks for any leads!

Yes, thanks - I have checked a number of sources for GM/AC DELCO parts. Usually this switch is either not listed at all, or it is listed N/A - No longer available. I've got one site says they will double check if they actually have it/stock it, and will answer me soon. In the meantime, I thought I would draw on the collective knowledge of this Forum? Ciao.
