SSM 51908 2020-2023 Escape/Corsair - Door Ajar Warning Light Or
High Door Closing Efforts
Some 2020-2023 Escape/Corsair vehicles may exhibit a door ajar warning indicator or higher
than expected efforts to fully close doors. Verify the hood/liftgate are not open. Confirm all doors
are fully closed and latches are fully engaged. Doors will not fully close when lightly letting go of
the door or letting it swing closed from a short distance under its own weight. Push/pull effort
must be applied to doors while closing to fully engage latch and turn off the ajar signal warning. If
doors are still not fully latching closed, manually adjust door striker position to allow for proper
alignment and engagement to the door latch. The door hang position may also need to be
slightly adjusted to achieve the same effect. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-03.
