HOLY SMOKES!! $140? Well at least they are making them again. I searched for about 5 years until I finally found a used one. I think I got it for $40 or so from a fellow forum member. If I may ask, what is wrong with your current one, will it not stay in the "on" position?

I replaced mine back when you could still get them from GM. It was about $30. if I remember. Mine wouldn't turn on. I still have the old one in case someone developes a miracle cure one of these days.

Mine wouldn't stay in the "on" position. It seems that is the problem with these switches. I've read some people have had some success with cleaning the switch, but I have no idea how to go about doing so.

Thats why I haven't replaced mine! Mine still works, just the little "on indicater" light buld has burnt out. Not going to spend that kind of money just to fix a burnt out light bulb.
