Re: Door ajar switch for My ZR-1
Purists won't like this door switch replacement procedure. I'm not 'that' kind of purist. I just want my stock ZR-1 to work the way it did when it left Bowling Green.
To keep from loosing the plate or taking the door apart for door switch replacement I removed 1 bolt at a time from the switch, cut half the hole from the top and bottom of the old door switch's plastic housing, removed the bad switch, replaced with a new switch modified like the old switch was for removal, used a pick to hold the plug in place while I tied some dental floss to the plug's retainer 'just in case', then plugged the new switch in, rotated it into place, and tightened the 2 bolts. The labor part took less than 15 minutes. The angst watching YouTube videos of people breaking parts taking the doors apart; reading the service manual; reading forums; searching on-line; took hours. Knowing the C4 doesn't need my help to break or fall apart I opted for the easy way out - modification of the door switch for easy replacement.
