Jeep Repair: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, jeep grand cherokee, latch mechanisms


Question
The dome light will turn off in my jeep unless I turn the switch off manually; also my driver's side door indicator continues to say the door is open and I cannot lock my doors or role my windown down. I think if I could locate the door sensor it will solve my issue.

Answer
The door ajar switches are integral to the door latch mechanism. The front door ajar switches are actuated by the front door latch mechanisms, and are hard wired between a body ground and the Driver Door Module (DDM) or the Passenger Door Module (PDM). The rear door ajar switches are actuated by the rear door latch mechanisms, and are hard wired between a body ground and the Body Control Module (BCM) through the rear door and body wire harnesses.

The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the door latch unit must be replaced.
