Hi,

Try cleaning off the 3 of the 5 sprung/sticky out contacts on the door jam with some fine grade wet & dry... They maybe dirty causing confusion with yer "soft closure" set up... Make sure you do the contacts on the door too..

You may as well clean all five pins... The 2 static ones are for the central locking.... Yo only really need to clean up where the pins touch together.!

sometimes it works and sometimes it does'nt, sometimes it goes twice making the door pull in twice.

Even when the door is closed due to the dirty poor contact it maybe thinking its still open/been opened, hence the double pull in...?

I've been out cleaning up my negative door pins for the courtesy lights... It's been causing all sorts of hilarity with my alarm thinking the doors are not open.....

Good luck with yours should be a quick easy fix...!

thanks for your replys the problem has now been sorted, dirt in the bottom runner oh and 2 tab ends so depending on how hard i shut the door determined if it connected or not

Yep, they are prone to getting a thin film of crud that breaks continuity.... The rocker switches on the dash for the rear blinds are similar... The build up of crud in those switches are similar to the "mouse mung" you used to get in the old ball computer mouse on the three little rollers.?
