Broken overhead map light switches
Well drivers side switch broke about a month ago and last night the passenger side one broke and was stuck on. I had to pull the bulb.
Where can I find some replacement switches?

There was a thread in this forum about 5 months ago where someone found replacement switches for the overhead console. If you will do a search I'm sure you will find it. Sorry I can't be more help.

My switches work but the light assembly is loose in the overhead housing. I can turn them on and off but light fixture just recesses into the housing. I am going to try some Marine Tex and see if I can build up whatever is broken. The picture in the link will help. Thanks.

The switches came in and they are ALMOST an exact replacement!
The wiring color was red/black/white instead of black/black/yellow but I cut and spliced them by the position that was on the old switch right/center/left and it worked perfectly.
They have a threaded collar not a snap in sleeve and they were a little shorter . I shaved off the collar base so it would seat all the way to the switch base and now it can't be told from the factory switch. You don't have to do that, it worked without it but I just wanted both switches to feel the same when you pushed them.
BEST AND ONLY 2$ ELECTRICAL FIX I"VE EVER SEEN FOR OUR TRUCKS!
