Is it dangerous to drive with this switch faulty?

Not directly dangerous, but an inaccurate door-open warning could mean you don’t realise a door isn’t fully latched — always visually confirm doors are properly closed if you suspect this switch is faulty.

Can this switch be repaired instead of replaced?

For a worn internal contact, replacement is usually more straightforward than attempting a repair.

What is the switch made of?

A compact electrical switch mechanism, often spring-loaded.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
