C8 electric doors

Unread post by jscadden »

My offside electric door has decided to play up.

When I close it, it immediately re-opens.
Just started happening for no reason. Currently have to close it by hand although it will still open on the button.

About to go away for a break and would like to fix it before I go.

Regards
John

First place to start would be by cleaning the ‘piano’ contacts on the door & the frame. These are a known trouble spot for C8 sliding door problems. Some contact cleaner with some very fine wet & dry paper. Also check the are springing back freely.
