I know this is an old video but I have a 2013 Model S Tesla P85+ The external door handles all work. However the rear door handles dont open the door on either side. The handle moves but normally theres this quick motor sound that allows the door to open but isnt doing it. This is on both rear doors. I have tried to reset the car, pulled the 5a fuse under the hood and that didnt work. My Tesla service center is trying to rob me for $1300 for a bunch of what I feel are unnecessary parts. Like the external and internal door handles which aren't broken. Unfortunately my service center has tried this replace everything tactic before with my headlight bulbs. Tried to quote me $3500 for an entire headlight assembly when it was just the bulb. Then they said they misquoted me the $246 for them and turned out they said when they checked the VIN on the car it told them the incorrect part. I was charged $357 for what they say is the right part even tho when the VIN box is checked its the wrong one. I cant trust them but theres no where else to go.

@hughesdc2 жыл бұрын
There is so much to see on the Rincon but we only saw the goosenecks on the San Juan River. In the video you see a huge rock sticking out of the water on the right. That was the San Juan River. Really cool. We didn't see any houseboats on the lake that day. We only passed 4 boats all the way to Rainbow bridge and back. That is why there was so much glassy water to travel on. Best time of the year to sight see for sure.

I was able to remove the assembly and diagnose the problem (left microswitch black wire open).

I just left the door handle assembly unplugged for now. Thank you.

There is a MUCH easier way to remove the door panel without spudging tools! Just roll down the window and grab the top rear corner both hands with your fingers between the inner weather seal by only the vinyl covered plastic and pull straight out very firmly. You will not damage anything from using prying tools or even need those tools. The door panel will easily pop off from there; just be careful to catch it so you don't damage the wires.

Tips: 1. The top left nut can be reached through one of the (covered) holes in the door. You just have to get the glass to come up all the way by pushing the door latch mechanism in so that the car thinks the door is closed. 2. The rubber panel on the left side for the left door, or right side for the right door can be pulled up to access the nut way up in the corner.
