DOOi J A M ! SWITCHES
Door jamb switch assemblies consist of a plunger,
plunger collar, threaded retainer and terminals. They
are installed in the front door hinge pillars. When the
door of the vehicle is closed, the plunger is depressed
which creates an open in the ground circuit. When the
door is opened, the plunger is released and completes
the circuit to ground (Fig. 18).
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, it should not
be readjusted by hand. A new jamb switch should be
installed.
