Detailed Description

Standard Ignition DS-282 is a replacement door jamb switch engineered for Nissan vehicles that use a bolt-mounted, single-connector switch design. The DS-282 part number is listed for 1985-1992 Nissan 300ZX front left and front right, 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder front right, 1987-1990 Nissan Pulsar NX front right, and 1987-1990 Nissan Sentra front right. This switch helps restore proper door-open signaling for the courtesy lamp and related body electrical functions when the original switch is worn, intermittent, or no longer making reliable contact.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive S1056 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Interior lights that do not turn on when the door opens
• Door-ajar warning behavior caused by a faulty switch
• Intermittent courtesy lamp operation from worn switch contacts
• Switches that stick, fail to actuate, or no longer trigger properly
• Electrical issues at the door jamb caused by damaged original components

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector style, terminal type, and plunger size before installation.
• Confirm the mounting location and position: front right or front left, depending on the vehicle.
• Inspect the door jamb area for corrosion, bent mounting points, or damaged wiring before replacing the switch.
• Test courtesy light and door-ajar operation after installation to confirm proper actuation.
