Cause


Object Number: 2193022  Size: SH

There may be water intrusion in dock-n-lock connector caused by a water leak at the top of the door. The water enters under the door seal and tracks down the "B" pillar behind the plastic garnish molding and drops down onto the dock-n-lock.

Correction

  1. Remove the door trim panel.
  2. Check the dock-n-lock connector for water or corrosion. Dry out the connector and if corrosion is present, replace the affected terminals.
  3. Before the trim panel is reinstalled, make sure the round foam gaskets are present on the door trim locating pins. Replace as necessary.

  4. Object Number: 2193024  Size: SH
  5. Remove the weatherstrip at the top of the door and apply a small amount of Kent High Tech Seam Sealer Clear P10200 to the door frame as shown in the illustration. Apply sealer from where the run channel retainer stops down to where it starts again. Install the weatherstrip to the door and remove any excess sealer.
