Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and door position before installation. This DS-861 uses a direct mount design with one female connector and one male blade terminal, so the vehicle-side plug must match the switch configuration. Confirm the plunger contacts the door correctly after installation and test interior light and door-ajar functions before returning the vehicle to service.
