Rear cargo door, door switch sticks, sometimes light goes on, sometimes dont. Can switch be sprayed with some Wd40?

Once one of those little "pin switches" starts sticking you might as well pony up the $10 and just get a new one. heck buy a few for future use also.

It will save you the headache of having your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever tell you that "the lights inside your HUMMER don't work!"

I have replaced mine before. Somehow on my vehicle the way the water tends to drain it corrodes the contacts. The last one I put in, I encased the back side in silicon and put anti-ox on the contacts. They are called door jam switchs and can be purchased at GMPartshouse and I've seen them on Ebay. Easy to replace.
