Since I've had my 06 Power Wagon, the map lights have been unusable. I did a little research today and found out this is a common issue with the switches in our generation of truck. Both of mine have no "click" when you depress them, just a clunk.

Does anyone have a good replacement part, aftermarket or otherwise? I'm thinking about trying these.

Took the assembly off, looks like someone has been here before me snipping wires. The switches aren't even in here anymore. I'm going to attempt to extend the wires a bit and connect them to the switches I linked.c9cb428990528e1bfe62572a47a3a08f.jpg77ee060ecb1866e221bc8c4a1ad7e22d.jpg

Half-ass wired it all together. Both the bulbs were burned out so I used the dome light bulb to check if I was successful. It works!

I just shoved the bare wire in the switch pin holes... Is that how it's supposed to be done?56bb8076cfd328a8dbbcb9072cf7a357.jpg
