Hi is the door ajar switch part of the four pin connector or is it part of the door latch mechanism? My 2000 olds silhouette has a door ajar message constantly flashing despite doors being closed. Also, occasionally, the interior lights come on when...

You should call a GM dealer and ask for a door latch switch, for the left front door. Then ask them for the location of the switch, price, availability and part number. Once you have the part number you can then shop for the best price. The OEM part number might be 12532435 or 12532434. But check with the dealer first.

Can you remind me on what second is? Mine worked with the onstar and the door chimes. Funny story though, I sold that truck and kept the PAC unit. I do have it for sale. Willing to beat any price.

I know im WAY behind yall, but that was the fix for mine, i just cut a small piece of plastic and stuffed it on top of that "door closed" switch inside the batery compartment and now when i shut the door, the switch is pressed... all fixed!!

I had forgotten that there was a switch on it at all. So I went out two look at it in my '97 Mercury Sable. I was surprised to see that it had somehow gotten accidentally switched to 6 volts. I use this charger only in the winter when this car isn't on the road. So I have to thank you because I had forgotten that there even was a switch.I also had to look up AGM battery. According to what I found, that's a sealed battery that can be used in any orientation. Are you sure your battery isn't one of these? That's probably the setting I'd try.By the way I don't know what you mean by Gate (with the G in capitals). Is this an electronic gate powered by a battery?Sorry I can't be of more help. I hope you do find some. I had forgotten that there was a switch on it at all. So I went out two look at it in my '97 Mercury Sable.

It could be a bad switch, but it's hard to say. If they move in some directions but not others it's very likely to be a bad switch. For example if the 'down' arrow button doesn't work whether you flip the switch to the left or right mirror, it's probably a bad switch. Don't buy this one though. It's a piece of junk. I installed it and it worked ok for about 2 months and went bad. You're better off getting one from a GM dealer.

Hello, J. Waldvogel! Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem. Thanks in advance! Lee

this is a replacement for the he Cream color controller used up to 1998.. there is a kit for the is a complete kit for that include all the pats for the conversion.. if you use this then, you will need a new door switch..because this unit works backward without the new switch.. you will also need a test pigtail or hardwire it.. as the 4 pins power connector is different.. the motor on the step is a ford windows lift motor for the driver side.. I think 1985 .. search the web this is where I found all the info I needed

The notch in the front of the door looks like it should be it, but that's just a recess for the latch that holds the door closed. There should be a small slit/notch in the back of whatever adapter you put in (take a look at one of the other adapters to get the idea of where it is). You can probably pry it with a dime, but you can also use a sharp knife in the slot and just pull straight up -- comes out with hardly any force.

I second the 5 seconds. I have mine on a heavy wooden door and sometimes the latch moves back into the locked position and I have to move the bar to open so it closes properly, otherwise the door bar hits the latch and just bounces back. I also second that before I push the open button or the code I have to pull/push the door so it opens. It's a bit annoying, but less annoying than fumbling with keys.

This is a push switch. You instal the light on the hinge side, the switch facing the door. When door is closed, the door will push the switch to turn off the light. When door is open, the switch is loose and light is on. Very smart design - just like the light in a refrigrator.

check the rear access panel. the door holds a tiny pin in place that came loose on my set, cause the same "random power off" issue.just reseat the panel, making very sure this pin is in place. you won't miss it.

Albert, the switch is a spring loaded button that goes in the door jam above the hinge, or on the closing side of a sliding door. The switch, in the natural position with the door open and plunger extended, will turn the light on. When you close the door, it will press the switch and disconnect the circuit. I will give you some heads-up advice - if you have a solid wood frame and are doing this as an addition to a swinging door, you will have to cut a large chunk out of the 2x4 frame so the switch will fit. I installed this on three closets. It's an awesome little device, but just prepared to tear in that corner of the door, make a little mess, and do some patch-up work. If you want the switch to turn the light on when the door is closed, rather than when the door is open, you will be better off buying the correct switch. There is no way to reverse the function of the switch.

I haven't had any issues with mine but it's sounds to me like you're vehicle had an OBC glitch or maybe something got pressed in the process to cause the malfunction or loss of communication and it locked out! It also my be an issue with the scan tool compatability of the scan tool to the vehicle or an issue with the scan tool itself! If it has been used on another vehicle then the issue would in my opinion be you're OBC ( on board computer) that had the glitch! I hope that helps

The two pieces are clamped together by the thumb screw to cause the connection. I use one on each of my antique autos and they operate great. I have also installed one on my stepson's car. He had a battery drain and that corrected that problem. It still has a problem but if he shuts it off every night and then opens the switch, it will operate fine.

It's a tilt. When the door i open (sensor flat) it blinks red for open. When door is down (sensor up and down) it blinks green for closed.

First thing I would is to "re-check all" of your connections at the brake light bulb wiring area. Additionally, check for any kinks or snapped wires. Also, I zip-tied my wires to the frame, however the ties were a little loose, that way they shouldn't snap. It seams pretty clear to me that the issue is the brake light area. Let me know how you make out, good luck!

I bought three different ones for my 99 Accord. They all worked fine. I sold the car so I don't know if they still work. When I bought them the description told me which doors they were for. This one now doesn't say which door and that's pretty weak. However, I checked the reviews and the last one says it for the front side passenger door.
