GM Genuine Parts 25877453 Dome Lamp & Reading Lamp Switch Review

I took a chance that they would fix the map light in my 30 year old Chevy Suburban. They are not an exact replacement for this application. However, with modification, they work well.

Perfect fit. In OEM packaging. This is what you need when yours is broken. Installation was very easy. Remove the clear lens, unscrew the 2 torx screws, pull the plastic case down and remove, slide the switch back to remove the connector and reverse the process.

I couldn't find the top passenger light switch on my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo so I tried. I had to cut off 50% of the white switch stem and cut and tin the wires from the original switch. The switch works as a good replacement for the original.

First remove the map light with the torx in front near the windshield and just gently pull the other side down as it is simply held by two slots. This switch has 3 wires. I cut 3 blades from an unsoldered thermal (crimp connector) and put 1 in each of the 3 slots, then soldered a wire to each of them (the black wire stays in the middle, the other 2 don't care. Voila!

This was an exact replacement right down to ID and Patent numbers as the map light came on on my Sierra. Specifically, the 2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT. On my truck, changing the switch required removing the lens (lamp cover) by prying out the two access holes on the back of the lens with a small flat head screwdriver. The rubber portion of the button then attaches to the clip and releases simply by pulling down. From there I unscrewed the two screws holding the overhead console on the left and…
