914Rubber Door Contact Switch for Porsche 924, 928, 944, and 968
For 20 years, PMB Performance has been the heartbeat of Porsche restoration, and our near-two-decade partnership with 914Rubber has made us the world’s top retailer of their SKUs. From weatherstripping to ignition components, we sell more 914Rubber parts than anyone, ensuring your Porsche gets the precision it deserves.
This genuine Porsche door contact switch (part number 968.613.601.00) fits Porsche 924 (1976-88), 928 (1978-95), 944 (1982-91), and 968 (1992-95). It’s a dual-purpose component, serving as both the door jamb switch for interior lighting and the parking brake lever switch for the warning light. Essential for functionality and safety, it restores reliable operation to your Porsche’s electrical system.
Why It’s Essential
The door contact switch triggers the interior dome light when you open the door and signals the parking brake’s engagement to the dash. A faulty switch can leave you in the dark—literally—or with a false brake warning, which is more than an annoyance in a precision machine like a 924 or 944. With our 20 years of Porsche expertise, we’ve seen how OEM-grade switches like this one prevent electrical gremlins, ensuring consistent performance whether you’re cruising in a 928 or tracking a 968.
