Front Door - Sill Button Bounce

MODEL

Discovery 3 and 5 Door Derivatives

DETAIL

Should a vehicle experience intermittent locking, i.e. sill button retracts but bounces back when locking the vehicle using the remote handset this is an indication that the door lock solenoid may require adjustment within the door panel.

The solenoid if incorrectly adjusted will limit the travel of the plunger thus causing sill button bounce. Refer to procedure below for full adjustment details.

ACTION REQUIRED

Upon customer complaint of a front door sill button bounce when opening or closing, the actuator assembly plate may require adjustment, follow the process detailed below.
