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.
  • Check switch operation: Manually move the latch and listen/feel for switch clicks. Use a multimeter to verify continuity changes as the latch moves.
  • Adjust or replace: If the switches do not actuate reliably, adjust their position if possible or replace the latch assembly including switches.
  • Inspect harness: Check for broken or loose wires between the latch switches and the control board.
