Looking for a 4 pin switch for my dome lights. See picture. I can find the 2 pin version online but it isn't the same.

Thanks

There are a few threads on disassembling these, polishing the contacts up a bit, cleaning and greasing them. They should last forever if they are occasionally greased/cleaned.

The ones that go electrically "bad" are usually on the console and go bad from stuff falling into/spilling into them - not the ones on the dash. I'd be very suspect of things OTHER than the switch.

It is damaged internally. I took it apart. The rocker is damaged.

Shorting the wires out turns the dome lights on. The switch illuminates with the headlights.

I appreciate the help guys but I just need a switch not a diagnostic lesson.
