Anyone know if these are reproduced or not? Seems to be a pretty elusive part. 2889053 only turns up a few results for some expensive ebay ones. Is there another part that will fit and function but might not be 100% correct? It's for my 68 charger.

Does a trunk light switch work the same way ?

I thought about that, but I think it's an L shape instead of straight? Have to go look and see if I have one kicking around somewhere.  :cheers:

Use a door jamb switch

I'll give that a try, I have some of those actually. :2thumbs:

Edit: door jamb switch won't work without drilling out the bracket, plus the ones I have have the plastic insulator tube on the back (original ones from my car?) and the retaining nut wont fit anyways.

E brake switch is all by itself. and it takes a thin nut on the back side to retain it
Trunk light switch has an L shape connector. ALTHOUGH it MIGHT work ( never tried to say with any certainty or not )


door jam switches are entirely different

I finally ended up sourcing the correct one on ebay for $26 bucks. Not bad considering all the other ones I found were in the $55-75 dollar range.
I'm curious if the trunk light switch would work as well? Not sure if they are easier to come by than the parking brake switch though  :lol:

I found a trunk light switch. Same threads as the door jamb switch. Here is the side by side comparison. My old parking brake switch is missing the part where the wire connects.
