locating a discontinued part

Maz · Mar 15, 2008

Hi all;
I went to dealer to pick up a couple of door jamb switches (those that turn on the dome light, when the door is open), and much to my dismay, I was told that they are discontinued. I had no luck finding a replacement anywhere on-line.

I need help finding these, Where can I get these? Part numbers please.
Is bone yard my only option?
Can these switches be rebuilt? How?

Any help would be appreciated
1989 Jeep, BTW.

Below are the part numbers the dealer gave me:
Driver side switch 56000136
Other three doors 56000137

I just bought one for my 89 XJ from Advance auto parts and they had it in stock. It works great!

not to be rude but you couldnt have looked to hard.Any auto parts store can get these. If they do not list on for the Cherokee bring yours in to match up. And you can get them online also.. here are a couple options

No kidding. He made it sound like I am SOL.
I used the part numbers he gave for doing my on-line searching. They could be the wrong numbers, or that everyone has their own part numbers without cross-reference to the OEM numbers. I don't know. I am shocked how many options I have locally and on-line.

Thanks everyone for the help. I really appreciate it.
