Ford Connect Double Locking Fault

Midwest · May 2, 2016

My Ford Connect double locking has stopped working (intermittent fault). Manual says it won't double lock if one of the doors is open. Well I've shut all the doors properly, but I guess one of the door switches is telling the system I haven't.

I know the side door has got one of those three pronged switches, which I've WD & cleaned and when opening each door it operates the interior lights. So is there anything else I could check, before paying for someone to fix it for me?

Hi,the three prongs is a contact assembly,to feed whatever is actuated in the sliding door,have you found another switch that is operated by that door?

Yep there's a small 'push button' switch on the right hand side (2010 Connect). The rear interior light works, when I open the sliding door, so I guess that switch has nothing to do with it.

Sprayed load more WD40 on all door contacts, and double locking works now & again. Been doing some research, and the switch you mention, comes up a lot. Gonna have a look at that. Contacts are clean but some mention it or the door can move.
