The engine compartment light switch is part number 101629. If it is broken, replace it with a new one that is not broken. Listed as in-stock on the DMC web site for under 20 bucks. I'm often baffled as to why it is DeLorean owners are often willing to spend so much time an money to avoid repairing and replacing stuff properly. Why muck with cludging up a "fix" to a broken switch when you can just get a new switch?
