Ohio Jim Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hello everyone! Well after just getting my STS back on the road with your help, thank you all very much, I find the '04 Deville has an issue with the Drivers Door. This morning when I closed the door, the DIC said the driver's door was ajar. I re-closed it three times, making sure the seat belt was not in the jamb. Still got the message. I remember having this issue on a '94 Town Car, so I looked along the door's edge for a small switch like the Lincoln had. No luck. Can you tell me how the circuit works for door ajar? I am thinking there must be a bad switch causing the issue. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ohio Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hello. I do believe the switch is integrated into the latch assembly at the back of the door. Usually there are 2 plugs to the latch, If you can remove your panel you should be able to check the plugs. Unplug and plug them in a few times and check for corrosion. I have not worked on a 2004 but I would it wouldnt be too crazy different from the 2002. best of luck to you GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Jim Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Rockfangd, Thanks for the start. I was able to locate a wiring diagram, and see the plug is integrated as you suggest. I will pull that door apart and see what I can find! Ohio Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 you are off to a good start. Problem is likely the valve itself or one of the plugs to it. If not corroded then likely it is the latch GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
