door switch
the door ajar light in my girlfriends 98 impreza wagon stays on even when all the doors are closed, I have a voltmeter but I'm not sure how to go about testing the switches to find out which one it is. but I'm guessing the resistance will tell me what I want to know.
I think it may be the switch for the rear lift gate, does anyone know where the switch is located and how it works. thanks

no one knows how the door switch set up works on a hatch back.
i guess I will make a trip down to the dealer and see if they can show me a parts catalog or something that will help I'll let you guys know If I find out something useful thanks |

I'm having a similar problem on my 93L Wgn. not sure the lift gate is the problem as the gate switch never has worked right since I bought it. The door ajar light came on this weekend, and stayed on I noticed this after washing the jambs. I think there may be water in the rubber boots around the pin switches causing them to short. I haven't had a chance to test this yet(pull the boots back and squirt a little WD40 on the pins) but I don't see what else has changed since Sat.
Oh I wish someone would answer you about the hatch switch mechanism I cannot figure how that thing works. |

the dealer sugested that I should move the ring that the hatch latches onto a little farther in towards the inside of the car but that hasn't helped. this problem is intermittent. I don't think it is the latch anymore, i think it is one of the door switches.
the switch for the latch appears to be part of the handle assembly as far as I could tell without taking it apart, I just pulled all the plastic covers off of the rear hatch I think the rubber is an integral part of the door switches, but I may be wrong on that one, I haven't got around to checking the resistance individually but it is going to be hard to check with the problem being intermittent. |
