It's a mercury switch. On when hood open, off when hood closed. Make sure it's not unplugged where the wire exits the hood.
They changed them after '88 or '89. Mine doesn't look anything like yours & uses a different bulb.

1989 was the first year of that style. My '88 has the older version. Still works though

Just searched on Sylvania's site and they show the bulb style changing in 1990.





I'd think by looking at yours you could tell pretty easily which style bulb fits.

Its the top one.

I put an LED in mine. Much brighter and I don't need to worry too much if I leave my hood propped open for a day or two.
