Switch, Door Ajar: Description: Door
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This vehicle has door ajar switches for each door. Each switch is concealed within and integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type micro switch units that are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. An integral connector receptacle on each door latch connects the door ajar switch and the power lock motor to the vehicle electrical system through its respective door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch unit must be replaced.
