INTERLOCK SWITCH
The interlock switch is a single-pole, single-throw momentary
type. It is located on the right side behind the air scentry panel.
Its contacts are normally open. the contacts close when the door
is closed. It is activated by the actuator located on the back of
the door. Another switch located against the interlock switch is
to provide the “No-Jam” circuitry function. This switch is nor-
mally open and bypasses the interlock to provide “No-Jam”
capability. It can be replaced in the same manner as the inter-
lock switch.
