Seamless Entry, Every Time
In your Tesla, the Rear Left Hand Door Electric Release Switch 1094958-01-C is more than a simple component; it's the key to effortless access. Engineered with a sleek, high - gloss finish, this switch not only complements the vehicle's modern interior but also provides reliable, intuitive operation for rear - seat passengers.
Design: Style Meets Durability
The glossy surface of the 1094958-01-C isn't just for show. It's crafted to resist fingerprints and smudges, maintaining a clean and polished look even with frequent use. The switch is ergonomically designed, with a shape that fits comfortably under a passenger's finger. Its raised edges make it easy to locate, even in low - light conditions, and that satisfying "click" when pressed gives clear feedback that the command has been registered.
Constructed from high - grade materials, this switch is built to last. The internal components are protected against dust, moisture, and daily wear and tear, ensuring long - term reliability. Whether it's a cold winter day or a hot, humid summer, the switch will continue to function smoothly.
Function: Smart and Intuitive
This isn't just a basic door release. It's integrated with Tesla's advanced electrical system:
One - Touch Release: A simple press of the switch sends a signal to the vehicle's door - opening mechanism, allowing the rear - left door to open smoothly. It's designed for quick and easy access, whether passengers are getting in or out.
Safety Integration: The switch is also linked to the vehicle's safety systems. It won't allow the door to open if the vehicle is in motion, preventing any accidental ejections. This ensures the safety of passengers, especially children, who may be tempted to play with the door controls.
Sync with Central Locking: It works in tandem with the central locking system. When the vehicle is locked, the switch is disabled, and vice versa. This seamless integration provides a unified user experience and adds an extra layer of security.
When to Replace
Unresponsive Button: If pressing the switch doesn't result in the door opening, or if there's a significant delay, it's a sign that the internal contacts may be worn out. This could be due to extended use or exposure to moisture.
Sticky Operation: The switch feels stuck or requires excessive force to press. This could be a result of dirt or debris getting into the mechanism, or the internal springs losing their tension.
Visible Damage: Chips, scratches, or cracks on the glossy surface not only affect the appearance but can also indicate underlying structural damage. If the switch housing is compromised, it may not function properly.
Electrical Issues: If there are any signs of electrical malfunctions, such as the switch causing the vehicle's electrical system to glitch or throw error messages, it's time for a replacement.
Installation: Hassle - Free
Replacing the switch is a relatively straightforward process:
Remove the Door Panel: Use a plastic trim tool to carefully pry off the door panel. Start from the edges and work your way around, being careful not to damage the panel or the surrounding trim.
Disconnect the Wiring Harness: The switch is connected to the vehicle's electrical system via a wiring harness. Locate the connector on the back of the switch and press the release tab to disconnect it.
Remove the Old Switch: The switch is held in place by clips. Gently pry the switch out of its housing, taking care not to break the clips.
Install the New Switch: Insert the 1094958-01-C into the housing, ensuring that the clips snap into place securely. The glossy finish should be flush with the door panel for a seamless look.
Reconnect the Wiring Harness: Plug the wiring harness back into the new switch, making sure it's fully seated.
Reinstall the Door Panel: Place the door panel back onto the door and press it firmly around the edges until all the clips engage.
