Door sensor issues

[tinman]

Having a hard time figuring out how to diagnose which sensor is the one saying its open. It would be really helpful to know where the module is that controls the door open protocols. Has anyone successfully jumped out the door sensors? At the module? Only locally at the switch? Obviously buying a $300+ door latch is out of the question when the only issue is that it reads as open. If anyone has any advice on how to proceed with this process it would be greatly appreciated

I am having the same issue. I think it's my passenger front door and driver's sliding door. I try to lock it with the fob and it locks and then unlocks and the light is on that a door is open. Ugh.

or maybe it's because nobody cared for the TIN MAN. Now if it was Dorothy, it would be another story. 🙄

 

It would be helpful to know what model year your TC is (Gen 1 or 2)?

Which door(s)?

There has been some discussion over the years regarding door sensors. Give the search option a try.

Door sensors are on all vehicles and TC owners are very small subset.

I suggest you search a wider audience to get a better understanding of how to troubleshoot any door sensor.

I'm sure the technology is pretty standard across all vehicles.

That's what I am thinking.
