Instead, spring contacts on the door touch a contact plate on the body when the door is shut. Over time the contacts corrode, the plastic cracks or the springs lose tension. The usual symptom is a sliding door that will not lock or unlock with the rest of the van, or that works only when you push on the door. Some vans also lose the door-ajar signal, the alarm or the dome light. Replacing the contact plate is a quick fix for a problem that is often blamed on the lock actuator first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery before you work on the contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the screws holding the old plate, unplug the connector and note the wire positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the mating contacts on the door with contact cleaner and a fine abrasive pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit the new plate, reconnect the wiring and check that the central locking operates the sliding door with the door fully closed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thin film of dielectric grease on the contacts helps prevent new corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit my 1997 EuroVan Camper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, if it has central locking.
