Door Jamb Switch

I am trying to locate a door jamb switch for my 1973 F250. A picture of the old switch is here - https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/1...18311499983793

I found one at Autozone, but it is clearly not the right one. Duralast/Door Jamb Switch (SW107) | 1973 Ford F250 3/4 ton P/U 2WD 8 Cylinders H 6.4L 2BL OHV | AutoZone.com

I also found one at DC, but from the picture, it looks exactly the same as Autozone. Any ideas?

Did you look at NPD or LMC?

That's the right one. You screw it into the door jam and the first time you close the door it self-adjusts.

Exactly right, it adjusts when you close the door. You can also use NAPA DJ6330

Thanks. That makes much more sense. I was holding the new switch in my hand and was sure it was wrong. But now I understand. Thank you!

I struggled with the same thing. That's why this forum is so great. Enjoy your new working dome light!

More than you can imagine, when you consider that:
