Sliding Door Ajar Switch, Supplements

November 21, 1991


TO: ALL CHRYSLER, PLYMOUTH, AND DODGE DEALERS


SUBJECT: 1991/1992 MINIVAN SLIDING DOOR AJAR SWITCH


To assure the highest level of customer satisfaction, all 1991 and 1992 (built prior to MDH 0906XX) minivans in dealer stock should have the sliding door ajar switch inspected before delivery to the customer. This is the switch located on the "C" pillar at the rear shut face of the sliding door.

These vehicles may experience cycling of the door locks while driving. In addition, the "Door Ajar" light, or chimes may also operate while driving, even though the door is properly closed. This condition is caused by a faulty sliding door ajar switch.

To prevent the possibility of delivering a vehicle with this condition, each dealer is requested to inspect the sliding door ajar switch "O" ring (located near the tip of the switch plunger) for color. If the "O" ring is orange, the switch is not suspect and no further action is required.

If the "O" ring is black, replace the switch with P/N 4687557, using the repair procedure described in TSB 08-15-91, dated October 21, 1991.

This action only applies to the above indicated vehicles currently in dealer stock. Any retail vehicles experiencing this condition may be repaired using the above TSB guidelines.

Contact your Zone Technical Office should you have any questions regarding this matter.
