Detailed Description

Standard Ignition AW-1042 is a replacement door jamb switch engineered for vehicles that use a bolt-mounted plunger switch to signal door-open status. In the listed Toyota Camry, Corolla, Avalon, RAV4, Tundra, Sequoia, Prius, Matrix, and Lexus ES300, ES330, IS300, GS300, IS250, LS460, ES350, and LX570 applications, the switch is used for courtesy lights and related body functions, depending on position and model year. The black plastic housing, square connector shape, and blade terminal layout support straightforward electrical connection in the original mounting location.

This part number, AW-1042, is also referenced for several front, rear, left, and right positions across the fitment list. Confirm the exact vehicle position and notes before installation, especially on models that use the switch for parking aid sensor connectors or courtesy light circuits.

What It Helps Fix

• Courtesy lights that stay on or do not turn on when a door opens
• Door-ajar warning concerns caused by a worn switch
• Intermittent interior light operation from poor plunger contact
• Body control signal issues related to the door jamb switch
• Switch wear from age, moisture, or repeated door cycling

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and plunger length before installation. Match the vehicle position exactly, since fitment varies by front, rear, left, and right applications. Inspect the mounting surface and wiring connector for corrosion or damage before installing the new switch. Because this part uses a bolt-mount design, proper alignment is important so the plunger fully engages when the door closes.
