Door Sensor, door sensor not working Options

[d0w0rkS0n]

Hey, so my 94 St is havin a small electrical issue. My Open Door light stays on 24/7. Even with car off and both doors shut. I checked both sensors and did everything I can to stop it...but the light stays on. Is there any way to override this. Possible a wire to cut or a fuse to pull?

Thanks guys

probably your sensor/switch does not work anymore. you need to pull both out and try to disconect them see waht happens. that will drain your battery.

The sensors are just momentary switches, a simple close and open circuit. (diagram)


*The pinhead connects to the chasis thus acting as the neg terminal. The wire going from the bottom up to the latch is from the bulb.

When you open the door the latch touches the black pinhead and this completes the whole circuit, when you close the door the latch is pushed away from the pinhead an this breaks-up the circuit. For it to stay on all the time means the wire that goes to the M switch must have touch the ground continously even after you push the latch away from the pinhead. So either the lilttle rod that pushes the latch away from the pinhead is broken or the wire goes to the M switch broke and felt off touching the chasis.

Hope this helps.
