7Cylinder Universal Door Jamb Pin Switches – Momentary Hood/Light Mount – 4-Pack

Description

This 4-pack of universal door jamb pin switches features durable nickel-plated construction and protective rubber boots to prevent moisture and dust ingress. Designed for use in cars, boats, and other vehicles, these momentary switches automatically activate interior or hood lights when a door or panel is opened.

Instructions:

1. Identify a suitable mounting location on the door jamb, trunk, or hood frame where the pin will be fully depressed when closed.
2. Drill a hole corresponding to the size of the mounting flange and secure the switch in place using the integrated mounting hole.
3. Connect the electrical terminal to the light circuit, ensuring the switch acts as the ground or power interruption for the system.
4. Ensure the ribbed rubber boot is properly seated over the pin to maintain weather resistance.
5. Test the installation by opening and closing the door to verify the light activates and deactivates correctly.

Precaution:

Ensure the pin is not excessively compressed when the door is shut to prevent mechanical failure or damage to the switch.
