Check the door switch(es) and make sure it’s properly engaged when the door is latched. Post the results.

The door seems to be working…is there a way to make sure the latch is engaged when the door is closed…is there a way to check it using the touch pad

4

The only way to verify it is to test it with an Ohmmeter.

Thank you Gene. I appreciate your help. i have the ohmmeter, but dont how to test..do i have to remove a part of the panel to do it…or is there a way to do that without removing any of the screws…if i have to remove panel please talk me thru it :slight_smile: I can unscrew the screws around the inside of door easy enough but how the rest come apart.

The door has to be taken apart. You can find the instructions in the Service manual.
