3rd Door Won't Open

The other day I went to open my 3rd door and nothing...I was a little shocked then mad.

Well after a few choice words and a smoke I found the problem. On the bottom of the 3rd door is safety switch that is designed to prevent the door handle from operating with the front door closed. I wiggled it and pushed it in/pulled it out a couple of times and it is working alright.

Good enough till the first service.

Shawn

In fact there are at least three other threads about this happening.

I had the same problem with the club door. The dealer installed a repair kit #61119194763. It works fine now.

YEP - Had the same problem and the dealer pulled the bulletin on the subject and fixed it. Also had trouble with the driver window not doing the up/down shuffle when you open/close the door. There was a bulletin on that problem also. That one took 3 hrs to fix as they had to do some reprogramming of the control module.
