rear door sensor

[Randal Trialmaster]

Hi, Im Randal in Nashville, TN. I have a 2024 ineos grenadeir trial master. I keep having a message that my rear doors are not closed. I get constant dings and noises that prevent my wife from even riding in my vehicle. It also seems to be draining my battery. I have adjusted both doors as muck as I can. Should I modify the stops to allow the doors to close tighter? My dealership in Nashville is absolutely no help and refuse to even acknowledge the problem. thanks for any help. R WW

Tell the dealer he needs to fix it or you will Lemon Law the vehicle. It is not rocket science, just a simple adjustment that he should be doing under the warranty.

Not sure if this will be helpful or not.

I had the Grenadier wrapped... Now my back door sensors aren't connecting. Slamming the doors shut didn't make a difference. The sensors are the little cones? Hoping they just need t be aligned. Thoughts.

Hello, I had this issue as well, rear door alert would come on when encountering rough terrain or the door was closed too gently. I added a 1/16 washer behind each of the three bolts on the upper latch on the larger rear door. (My washers were too large but it is what I had around the garage and fit fine)Since then we have not had any issues with the rear door sensor.

I always had to slam the smaller rear door so that the sensor would pickup and I would be able to lock the Grenadier. I troubleshooted it today and I only had to bring the metal hinge on the bigger rear door out few millimeters. It is the silver metal looking hinge on the rear door here. The door sensor pickup closed now when using normal closing force.

I have the same problem. How to bring the metal hinge our? add a washer?

No washer is needed. Just loosen the two screws on the hinge in the picture and push the hinge backward toward the door rubber, then tightened the screws back. That way the smaller door lock catches this hinge on the large door sooner.

I just had this, this morning. Nothing like 15 min of bonging until I can get to a safer pull over on the highway for a slam.

Adding my experience (unresolved) here: I am getting the same "doors not locked" messages - particularly when closing the doors while standing on a slope. What I also noticed is kind of perplexing

1. I close the large door (with enough force). Wiggling the lever, I can feel that has a pressure point. So far, so good.
2. Then I close the small door (also good force)
3. when driving - the bongs and display alert me
4. When I open the small door and feel the lever of the large door, the pressure point is gone, and lever is "mushy" and it feels like the door hasn't been locked properly, pulling it slightly, the door opens.

Are you experiencing similar symptoms? Would moving the hinge help?
