Its a switch pushed in by your closed door to help your car act properly.

Easy replacement.

Look for a black stud sticking out of your door jam somewhere

I had a bad dimmer switch recently... the actual control knob to the right of the dash.

i figured the dome light had some loose wiring somewhere since when i hit bumps it turns on and off, could be wrong.

any ideas on the defogger? not like i need it now lol but itd be nice to fix it for once.

if it's like that when you hit bumps, I would say the door switch is misaligned or going bad.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Some say he invented November.
