Dennis. Part No 84231-28020 is the switch and your local Toyota dealer should be able to help with this.

Dennis,
I just packed out the inside of the rubber cover with a bit of tape, still working after 2 years. The plunger had made a dent in the rubber so it was not pushed in far enough with the door closed.
Try that before buying a new switch.

Hi Dennis. This is a common problem & the simple cure is to loosen the door lock striker plate, move it in a tiny ammount and tighten it up. Job done!

Thanks Guys

Funny enough Clive thats what i had on my switch for the last 4yrs but every now and then i catch it and it pulls off ,Ray i will check my door lock striker plate may be it needs adjustment,

John just spoke to dave coombes at Wight Motors Toyota and since i seem to be in a spend spend spend mode i just order 2 door switches and he will put these in with hand brake cable i order from him yesterday they are £10.11 + vat each
