Door pins (electrical)

After all of these years, do your door switches still work to actuate the interior light? Mine are rusted closed in my '74 .

Where do you find these old animals? Auto parts store?

Mine still work. As usual when looking for stuff, try the junkyard, but first, like grape said, use some WD40. And I'm not sure, but this might be a dealer part. But again I'm not positive.

Those are usually fairly inexpensive items at most any auto-parts store. If you can't find one there, check a car audio store that installs alarms.
