Need A Brake Light Switch...

for my truck. The plastic holding tab is broken. It's still functioning, but it could fall out just about any time with a nudge from my big boot.

Is there a source for electrical from aftermarket suppliers or this a dealer item? Thanks.

Got mine from Autozone, 13 bucks....... Napa was closed or I would have gotten it from there. Almost a year now and all is still fine though.

Ditto Autozone. Be sure and read the instructions before installation. I did the guy thing and started messing with it and dang near messed it up before I even made it out of the store.

Thanks for the help. I do remember there is a sequence for adjusting the plunger. I will pay attention, and read first.

Do either of you guys happen to know what THEY called it, or do you have a part number? I called the local O'reilly store and they couldn't do any good.
