The problem with these pin type switches is that their mounted on the 'underside' of the door latch with the pin 'pointed' upwards.. There isn't any seal on the actuating pin and dirt/debris collects and makes its way into/on the switch/pin making it stick..Sometimes with a little work they come loose.. Worth a shot prior to pulling the trim panel/s... If you can borrow a diagnostic scanner, or know someone with one, it will tell you which door circuit reads 'open' in the body system data... _____________________________ 05 F250 C/C FX4 6.0 1969 Firebird Trans Am 2003 Hayabusa GSXR1300 (in reply to brandons0923) Post #: 4
