A closure switch operates a bulb responsive to the opening and closing of a compartment lid. A bracket carries the switch including three contacts and a hinge, and a striker for a lid latch. The hinge is pivoted from a first to a second position by the latch upon lid closure. The first contact includes an end for connection into an electrical circuit and another end that connects to one bulb contact. The second contact includes an end for connection to ground and another end biasing the hinge into its first position. The third contact includes an end connecting to another bulb contact and another end engaging the second contact to energize the bulb when the lid is open and the hinge is in its first position. Upon lid closure the hinge pivots to its second position disengaging the second and third contacts to de-energize the bulb. |
