2 narrow spades are missing from the bus depot replacement sw on the left. the center one is the grey/black wire to the seat belt warning lamp and the right spade isnt used on my gl. I guess I do without the seat belt warning lamp now? why they do dat?
grey/black wire closest to camera
what if you have accessories that need these 2 spades-- what then? |

When I replaced mine, it was the same way. Installed it anyway, no harm done.

You got the closest replacement that is NOT: "Close but no cigar!"
It is likely what is out there right now.
I usually acquire those as spares from wrecked cars as you know it was running when it hit and hence is likely good. Besides you need that screw you always lose that holds it in.
The door chime being gone is a good thing. The seat belt bulb can be removed too.
(I am weird and like to stick in different chimes from different cars just to hear it, so I would miss the chime, myself.)
