28 Safety
To confirm misalignment, you will have to check the status of the proximity switch light: ON when
the tailgate is completely closed (switch is triggered), OFF when it is open. If the switch light stays the
same whether the taigate is open or not, you will have to adjust the switch. Apply the following
procedure to have this corrected.
To adjust the proximity switch:
1.
Loosen the proximity switch nuts.
2.
Adjust the proximity switch so that there is a gap of approximately 3/16
inch
(4.8
mm)
between
the plate (target) and the switch.
3.
Tighten up the nuts.
4.
Test the operation.
The proximity switch light should turn ON when the target is detected; if not, repeat the adjustment
procedure.
If, after several attempts, the switch does not work properly, replace the faulty switch with a new one.
