Technical Ducato 1.3 multi jet

[AntByf]

I’m constantly bugged by a message saying the rear doors are open when I know they are not. This also affects the central locking, and on board computer. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem, please.

Ducato 1,3? What the hell?

I guess you mean the Ducato 2.3 (litre) 130 (hp) because thedre is no 1.3
Whatever - you get that message when a load compartment door - including the side door which they count as a rear door - is not fully closed. I suspect something on rear or side door has worn out of adjustment. Try giving it a good slam - while pressing the rear of the side door in when you close it.

Could also be the doblo 1.3

There are threads on this problem with the doblo door on the forum.

Thanks, for the info. Yes, I should have typed 130. Sometimes a good slam works a treat but I guess as it persists messing about, a new unit might be the solution. Thanks again

Try finding the threads about the similar problem in the Doblo, there are a couple of them.

I think the part number will be different (but you'll never know) but I think the logic of it is the same as in the Ducato. And that solution might help. As far as I remember it was the contact on the side door that needs some treatment.

You can also try to clean the contact at the back door, too.

I haven't seen the contact on the back door of the Ducato
But I have seen the one on the side door and door frame - at the rear and about halfway up
Certainly worth cleaning that and checking the contacts in the door still slide on their springs.
I doubt if you need to buy any new parts.

Maybe someone could change the thread title to Ducato door open warning, or similar.
