Detailed Description

The DS-1414 is a door jamb switch used in body electrical systems where the door opening signal controls courtesy lighting and related functions. For Mercury Villager service, this switch addresses the common wear point in the door-activated circuit and helps restore normal switch response when the original unit is no longer operating correctly. Standard Ignition DS-1414 is a practical replacement choice for technicians and owners working on Mercury Villager electrical repairs.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
