Switches

[old tired rebel]

Can anyone tell me where I can get some switches for my truck?

Like windshield wiper,heater blower switch? I called the dealerships near me and they say these were discontinued.

I've had good luck at our local Napa.

My recommendation is to see if there's another dealership in the area who might have a parts guy willing to play ball and do some looking. It helps if he/she is an old car/truck nut. My older brother manages the parts department for a Dodge dealership, and he never ceases to amaze me with the parts he can dig up when he's determined enough (although I try not to call in TOO many favors!). It usually means digging into old paper parts manuals and figuring out how the part number has been cross-referenced in the years since, but there are gobs of old parts sitting in warehouses just waiting to be dug out by someone stubborn enough.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

Thanks for the tips, I'll try a Dodge dealer in the next city over.

NAPA should be able to get your blower switch. As for the wiper switch, if you pull it out, look on it for a part# and post it here. The only part# I have found so far for the switch lists it as a van switch and is 3004104. I have the factory parts books from 69-2000.

FYI-most dealerships won't have parts books for anything older than 1982...if they even have that. They will tell you it's been discontinued rather than admit they dont have the books.
