Interior Electronic Switches
 
I lost another switch in my dually.

Since I restored/updated the interior <5yrs now, the window & door lock switches that I used have failed. I purchased re-pop stuff from LMC which I knew was a gamble as far as quality & as expected they failed. But the originals were very rough (as was the entire interior) & I couldn't put beat-up trim on otherwise fresh interior panels.

The pass side door lock switch failed almost immediately. The drivers side failed shortly after. I was able to separate the switch base from the cover portion which allowed continued use of the OE GM switch electronics. Now the main window switch on the driver front door (the 4-position chrome unit) has lost the plastic clips so it won't stay put in the door panel & requires assistance to make good enough contact to work.

I did a Google search looking for LEGIT GM parts but only come up w/more re-pop stuff. Where is a good source for NOS OE switches?

Ebay still has a good amount of NOS stuff. Just be careful about the seller, I've noticed some re-pop companies are putting NOS in their advertisements. Apparently they either don't know what NOS stands for or they do and are directly trying to take advantage of people....

Not sure if this is correct for the trucks or not, but a great price if it is! Not my listing....https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-OEM-Gen...AAAOSwUrFeVXTd

This is what I kept finding. Descriptions said NOS but the box/packaging was clearly new & the price was comparable to typical re-pop offerings.

I'll pull mine out & have a closer look @ the switch. I'm betting a lot of the GM stuff was cross-model compatible. Thanks.

They do. Didn't find anything for a C20 Suburban (closest thing to what I need since there is no R30 CC options).

I didn't check what year your truck was when I posted it. Sorry. And look under electrical...switches, there might be something.

It's under the switches category = power window switch.

Hhmm…. I first looked under electrical when I used the link provided by 'Danmcg' & didn't see them. Maybe I clicked something wrong??

*EDIT* Just did it again. Only single cab switches populated & one CC/4dr switch that was aftermarket/Dorman.
