How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before working on the latch.
- Access latch switches: Remove the top or rear panel to expose the latch assembly and its switches.

- Adjust or replace: If the switches do not actuate reliably, adjust their position if possible or replace the latch assembly including switches.
