Description

Replace a worn or moisture-damaged door handle microswitch without buying a whole new handle, using the Dorman - OE Solutions Exterior Door Handle Switch Assembly 601-381 for the 2008 Cadillac CTS and 2008 Cadillac STS. This part is a direct-fit replacement for the front left exterior door handle on the listed applications equipped with passive entry.

When the factory microswitch fails from wear or moisture, the dealer repair calls for the entire door handle assembly. This Dorman OE FIX solution replaces only the damaged switch, so the rest of the handle stays in place. If a failed microswitch is behind a front left handle that no longer responds to passive entry, or responds only some of the time, this Dorman switch replaces that component.

Saves money: Replaces just the damaged microswitch, so you don't pay for a complete door handle assembly.
Plug-and-play: The microswitch assembly installs without soldering or other special electrical tools.
Application-specific: Designed specifically for Cadillac models equipped with passive entry.
Backed by experience: Supported by Dorman's team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Other faults can cause similar door handle symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
