Rear door problem

[gazza31112]

Evening chaps, got a problem with my rear doors, had my rear window smashed last week by some lowlife looking for tools to steal, luckily I had the steel blanks on so they didn't get in and take anything, shame about a caddy down the road that didnt and got emptied out, scumbags. Iv counted 4 caddy's that have been done in my surrounding roads in the last week!!! Have to move out of this shithole ffs but I keep spending my money on the van!!! Ahhhhh lol

Anyway ever since iv replaced my window with tinted glass my barn door has been pinging up on the dash saying it's not closed, and the interior lights cab/load area come on which is really annoying!!
It's a 2018 trendline
I thought I sorted it the other day because there was a shard of glass in the shutter which I removed and it hasn't done it ever since, but it popped again today on my way home, i pulled over and slammed the door but still popped up again on the motorway.
Iv only ever had cars before that always had that little springy switch button that tells the car that the door is shut, Iv looked everywhere on the back of the van can't find anything resembling one of those switches,(is it the hook thing on the left of the larger barn door?) so if anybody knows what tells the van the door is open ( and helps me out with a part number) I'd be very grateful.

Thanks guys !!!!

The rear door switch is built into the lock mechanism on the large door. The small door has a latch with no wiring.
If the lock has had water get in when the window was smashed, that might be a cause for your problem.

Thanks for quick reply doc,
So I'd be looking at replacing the whole lock mechanism for the larger door?
Tbh the water could be from when I removed rear wiper and just bodged rear washer jet into the door, so this might be my fault all along haha!!
Any way to disengage this washer jet? Is it fused?

Got a pre installed slam lock incorporated into the lock that so that will be fun to replace!!!

Oh, that might be your problem.
I've always just taken the pipe off the screen wash pump whenever I've done a wiper delete.

You might get away with just cleaning the lock with some switch contact cleaner before going out and buying a new one.

Ok mate thanks for that I'll try that.
Where abouts is the pump?
Cheers for the help!

The pump is on the bottom of the screen wash tank.
