We have a 99 Suburban and the rear door contacts for the defroster and such are not not working correctly. Apparently the springs in them are bad and they are staying pushed in all of the time. Does anyone know a way to fix them or what they are really called so I can look for new ones?
What are the rear door electrical contacts called

Don't know if you still need this but...
For 1999 Suburban with rear barn doors you can view an online catalog [for lots of other GM vehicles too] at www.gmpartsclub.com
1. Contact-right hand on body #37-0927 with rear barn door defrost: $44.95
2. Contact-right hand on body #37-0929 without rear barn door defrost: $18.95
VERY helpful in getting a price ... not so helpful in getting GM part number. www.gmpartsclub.com is another source for online catalog info.
HTH (hope this helps)

The Easy Fix may work for you
There are two kinds of Barn-door Burb owners: Those who have addressed this problem and those who will. Usually it's just dirty contacts, and stuck plungers are full of crud.
An easy cure may be no farther than the #2 yellow pencil in our pocket. Use the eraser to clean and burnish the contact faces. Then use the business end to 'write' lubricant on the plunger shafts. You may have to manually reciprocate them a while until they operate smoothly.

Good luck.

Anybody have more info on these button switches for rear barn doors? Part numbers and links above are no good. Well one link is okay but it only goes to 2000 my truck is a 99. Mine are shot like the original poster above I've clean them a billion times their junk.... Springs are shot. My rear doors will not lock no rear defrost. I can't find these or I'm just not looking them up with the right name. I don't know what to call them I've tried door jamb switches I've tried barn door switches etc...
I can't find them? Can anyone help?

BTW where did your part/price screen capture (one with green In-Stock text) posted above exactly come from?
Thx for clearing this up for old me! ~ MARK
I put it in my shopping cart on the LMC web page at the time of the original post, I think.

...Ah SO, Grasshopper
Assuming you mean the whole bit, screws included?
I would guess they are strike plates or guide plates or some such thing to ensure alignment. Meant to make sure a sagging door properly lines up with the latch rod.

Hi, yes the whole bit. I imagined right what they are for. I just fail to come up with part name/description, so I could find the part on any shop. "Striker" does come up with similar things, but I still can't find correct looking part with that name.
Too bad the only thing LMC has now are the screws.
