I just have to tell somebody and I know you guys will appreciate it. I told my family of my success, but they just look at me like I have a problem.

About 6 months ago the door ajar light stayed on for 10 minutes after turning off the car. I tried the wd-40 and no luck. I took the door apart twice but was unable to remove the unit, so I just lived with it. The last month the driver door lock went. The last week the battery died.

So at work I researched how to take the door apart and found a post with pictures step by step how to do it. After work I did it, started with the drivers door since the lock was broken and at the same time I replaced the door ajar sensor. $77 in parts from the dealer.

Fixed it the first time. I figured there were 7 door sensors on the car and with my luck it would be the last one I changed that was the problem, but it was the first.

For the first time in a long time all the door locks worked and all warning lights were off.

Then, I kid you not, we went to out dinner and after dinner my daughter was locked in the car because the door lock on the right rear passenger door quit working.

I would also like to thank everyone here. I don't post often, but every time I have a problem with my 2004 Limited with 168150 miles I come here to figure the problem out.

 

You did a great job!

Were you able to salvage the old parts and examine what caused the failure? If so, then it is possible to fix any others that would fail...if it is fixable.
