WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Important:  When a new jamb switch is installed and the door is closed the first time, the plunger is forced into the sleeve and automatically adjusts the jamb switch for that particular door. If a jamb switch fails, do not readjust the switch. Install a new jamb switch.

  1. Position the door jamb switch by the pillar.
  2. Connect the door jamb switch electrical connector.
  3. Install the door jamb switch (2). Tighten the door jamb switch to 10 N.m (89 in lbs).
