Door Reed Switch Replacing ??
Discussion
Hi Folks,
First thing... Is the equivalent parts list site down just now? Cant get in there to check out what part I require to order for replacement door reed switches from Maplin??
Now I have done a search but cant seem to find a guide on how to change the reed switches in my doors. I don't even know where they are to be honest? Could someone please help out with a guide on swapping these out at all?
Cheers for now
Dave

This is the link I am clicking on the very first posting. It is still not working and I am on my work PC now?
Anyway, thanks everyone for the info. This should get me away tonight and at least have a good look at everything while I wait for new reeds to arrive.
I was on the phone for a good while last night with Carl and he sugested I swap them out anyway as it wont harm. I am having issues with passenger locks and window sequence you see. Its just a process of illimination beofre I swap out my alarm and immobilser for new kit.
Out of interest, is there an easy way of checking magent position? I will go read the write up now, perhaps it will answer this for me?
Thanks again everyone

A further reply to the above, what I noticed is my passenger reed switch has about 8mm of thread exposed. The drivers side is more like 10mm. This looks rather a lot to me and with the ends of the reed switches being brightly polished and contact points on the magnets being visible I would hazard a guess at the reed touching the magnet. Would this give an issues do you reckon?

Worth a try if I get stuck, cheers.
From this then I guess that if I just put a wire across the terminals it will simulate the swtich being open? Removing the plug should simulate a door being closed as the circuit would be broken. This just replicating how a normal plunger switch works. Its the opposite to how I thought the reed switch worked!
Good fun!
