Default dome light switch

Has anyone had the overhead dome light switch break. I took it to the dealership they said it was the lens cover but when I took it apart the actual part that clicks inside the dome light is broken. Where can I get a replacement? I have checked all the parts stores they seem to only carry the lens cover. Any help is appreciated.

Did you find a switch yet? I might have 1 or 2 around here, I will check later today or tomorrow. If I don't have any, I know where you can get them.

Im guessing ya'lls is different from mine, being different year models huh? (05-under vs 06-^) I my factory one for before I had my foglights, exactly the same as the one I have now, 'cept the light-**** don't push in for the fogs.

Heres a pic of the kit I bought. Is ya'lls switch like this one? I doubt it, but if it is, I'll look out for ya

if you guys are talking about the plunger switch for the dome light, i might have a couple but i won't know until i go to work which i will try to do today, if not tomorrow. if i don't have any, i know where you can get them and they are fairly cheap.

It's an automotive switch made by Judco. I am pretty sure it is a standard design that can be used in almost all domestic vehicles. Not only can it slide into place like in a Dodge dome light, I am pretty sure they also come with a plastic lock nut.
