Silverado Door Ajar issue
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2024
- 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax. Issue is when driving down the road, the "passenger door ajar" msg comes up on the DIC, also illuminating cabin lights randomly. Also experiencing vehicle alarm going off while locked as BCM is "sensing" the door opening while locked. Here's the troubleshooting and fix that worked for me.
GM Part# 15110645 if you have the keyless entry, auto lock etc. features on your rig.
Thank you for the information. There is another video dealing with this door light switch by Jason Golden which shows how to remove corrosion from the contacts on the back of that plastic gear. Both very informative unless your plastic gear is broken.
Bro thank you so much for this video. You saved me the biggest headache !!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Helped me get through changing mine!
Thanks for taking the time to share this. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏻
You bet. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the upload. The door ajar notification comes on, in my information center while I'm driving but my dome lights aren't coming on. I'm pretty sure it's the same switch. Over 200 for a switch, dang.
Does your dome light come on when you truly open the door? If not, I know my truck has an override button to disable it. Yours might be set to not have dome light on which is why it isn’t happening. I believe it’s all integrated in that same switch. And yeah it’s spendy.
@@West1134 I think I did disable it on the light control when it first started. So yeah, I'm fairly sure that's where my power draw is coming from. Brand new battery dead within 2-3 days. The alternator works fine. Something is causing the drain. I'm fairly sure it's that switch
Yeah mine was setting off the alarm or leaving the dome light on which was causing a drain. That part resolved all the issues.

Thanks for letting me know what I'm in for.
@West1134 I'm not much of a car guy so this video is extremely helpful, thanks. If I don't care if the car locks or not (which I don't) can I just unplug the latch or does that send something to the BCM that will continue this problem? Thanks again!
Nice imma take apart my driver door and do this! Thanks!
@West1134 Thank's for the video. My issue is the driver's door. Constant message in the dash "driver door ajar" and sometimes as I roll up to speed the door locks actuate a dozen times. Would the driver door be the same part number as passenger door?
Not 100% but I think it’s a different part number.
When i hit a bump in my 2010 Tahoe i hear rattling from the door. Then it reads door ajar. People have told me to move my striker back a tiny bit and to replace my door seals. I just want to fix it so i can sell it for something smaller and it doesnt sound good when someone is test driving it. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Thanks very much
My 2002 Tahoe was broken into and the alarm never went off, I have upgraded to a viper alarm system but it still doesn’t go off when it should plus I don’t ever see any door ajar messages when the door opens except for rear trunk lid. Would replacing this fix that?
Honestly no clue on this one. My guess is if the latch mechanism isn’t registering with the BCM then maybe. But aftermarket alarms are their own can of worms.
@@West1134 yeah I want to think it’s a faulty security system but I remember testing to see if the factory one would go off and it didn’t, but the lights will still turn on when a door opens so I’m really confused on what’s going on
Same exact symptoms on my Suburban so switched out part and it's still doing it. Found one for under $40 cheaper part. Wouldn't think a cheaper part would cause the same symptoms though. It's annoying.
Problem is fixed. I had replaced my master window switch a while back with a cheaper Chinese one because the button pad was worn and that's when it started. There were a couple of other issues with the switch. Everything works great now. I will still buy cheaper parts because I saved $140 trouble shooting with the cheap door lock actuator and the Chinese window switch that had crappy electronics I managed to salvage the button pad from and got my old window switch working good again.
@@chewy98ta28 I have an 07 Classic Silverado. I added power folding mirrors but the right mirror adjust had been broken for a while and it did not operate the power mirrors. I bought a Chinese master window switch. It operates the mirrors fine but the truck thinks the drivers door is ajar. I though perhaps I jammed the latch during door panel installation so I ordered another and installed it. The problem is still there-Driver's door ajar. Do I need to try another manufacturer for the master window switch?
@@TheModelmaker123 I ended up putting my original MPS back in but I took the contact pad out of the Chinese MPS first and put it in my original and that took care of the door ajar issue and the buttons work fine except the door lock switch but I just lock it with my key FOB.
Hey great vid ! Anyone know if cutting the pink and black wire going to my bcm and just capping them off will cause me problems ? I did it to get rid of my door adjar warning light that will never go away due to me cutting my barn doors off and bolting on a lift gate door ..
Could this also cause problems for the doors to lock and unload on their own? Can it also cause other problems with the windows not waning to roll down or go up when they are supposed to?
I don’t think this module would affect the symptoms you have. It did make my doors lock/unlock at times because the sensor was failing while I was driving (ie you shift into park and it locks the doors) but nothing to do with the windows.
So I’m having similar issues with three different doors that have all popped up in the last week, one rear door and both front, alarm has gone off once. You mentioned a faulty BCM, would that be more likely than all three door switches going out at the same time?
I would think so yes. To my understanding these sensors relay the msg back to a body control module (BCM) which then interprets that to set off the alarm etc. My suggestion would be to find a wiring diagram and see if you can trace where the BCM is and test. Another possible avenue is a low battery. I’ve read tons on low voltage creating all sorts of gremlins! Get your batteries tested as a good first and easy troubleshooting step.
@@West1134 thank you
Did your dome light stay on as well
Yup!
Part has gone way down in price now! Got mine for $27!!
Did it drain your batteries by chance?
I prob could’ve as the dome light would come on. However, since I drive my truck infrequently I keep it on a battery tender.
Amazon has that part for 27$ btw
Link?
Could just replace the actuator. ua-cam.com/video/Vm5AD6jmhmk/v-deo.html
I didn’t find when I was looking the ability to buy just that actuator. I must have not used the appropriate search terms. Thanks for linking that!!
Did the door courtesy light stay on? Awesome that’s the issue. I’m having with mine but don’t light won’t turn off and the driver door courtesy light stays on even while driving I just had to remove chain. It was driving me crazy!!
Yes. My issue was the door courtesy light stayed on plus when it would work I’d lock the truck then the part would fail again and set off the alarm since the truck (falsely) “sensed” the door was opening. Part resolved all issues.
