Detailed Description

Standard Ignition DS-283 is a door jamb switch used to restore door-triggered electrical functions at the jamb location. It is listed for 1978-1981 Nissan 510 front left and front right applications, making it a direct-fit option for Nissan 510 door switch replacement work. The DS-283 uses a normal activation style, a metal housing, and a round connector layout to match the original-style service point on the vehicle.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition DS-283 with common interchange references such as DJ6604 and S791 for the same application. When replacing a worn Nissan 510 door jamb switch, the DS-283 provides the correct fitment for front left and front right positions across the 1978, 1979, 1980, and 1981 model years.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Interior lights that do not turn on when the door opens
• Door-ajar circuit faults caused by a worn jamb switch
• Intermittent courtesy light operation at the door opening
• Broken or corroded switch contacts at the door jamb
• Replacement needs for a damaged front door switch on a Nissan 510

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original switch style, connector shape, and plunger depth before installation. This DS-283 uses a direct mounting design with a single round connector and blade terminals, so matching the vehicle’s existing wiring and mounting point is important for proper operation. Confirm whether the vehicle needs a front left or front right door jamb switch before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for service applications, and DS-283 is built to match the listed fitment and connector configuration for the specified Nissan 510 models.
