If the rear right-hand door of your 2021+ Tesla Model 3 or Model Y
fails to unlock or release when pressing the interior
switch—whether it’s unresponsive, sticks after being pressed, or
triggers a “door release error” on the touchscreen—this CFN matte
electric release switch (matching OEM part 1094959-02-E) is the
solution to restore smooth, reliable door control. As an engineered
replacement (not Tesla OEM), it replicates the original’s
electrical specifications, matte finish, and mounting structure,
ensuring seamless integration with your Model 3/Y’s rear door
control system and consistent visual harmony with the interior.
This switch serves as the direct “command trigger” for the rear
right door’s electric release mechanism: when pressed, it sends a
precise signal to the door’s locking motor to disengage the
latch—critical for easy exit for rear passengers. Unlike generic
switches that often have mismatched glossy textures or unstable
signal transmission, this CFN part mirrors the 2021+ Model 3/Y’s
factory matte interior (no jarring “aftermarket” shine) and uses
OEM-grade copper contacts. These contacts ensure steady signal
flow, eliminating intermittent failures that leave rear passengers
struggling to open the door.
Durability is optimized for daily use: the switch housing is made
of scratch-resistant ABS plastic, with a matte coating that resists
finger smudges and wear (even with frequent use by kids,
passengers, or repeated bag contact). The button’s tactile feedback
is calibrated to match the original—offering a soft, distinct
“click” to confirm activation, while being firm enough to prevent
accidental presses (e.g., from items leaning against the door
panel). The wiring connector is a perfect plug-and-play match for
the rear right door’s electrical harness; no cutting or splicing is
needed, saving time on installation.
Installation requires basic DIY skills and a soft trim tool:
- Gently pry off the rear right door’s interior switch panel (use the
trim tool to avoid scratching the matte surface or door trim).
- Disconnect the old switch’s wiring harness by pressing the release
tab.
- Remove the 2 small mounting screws holding the old switch in place,
then swap it with the CFN switch.
- Reattach the harness to the new switch, snap the panel back into
the door, and test—pressing the switch should release the door
smoothly, with no touchscreen errors.
Note: This switch is exclusively for the rear right-hand door of 2021+ Tesla Model 3 and
Model Y. It won’t fit 2020 or older models (different rear door electrical
design) or other door positions (front, rear left). It’s ideal for
replacing worn, stuck, or unresponsive original switches, keeping
your Model 3/Y’s rear interior functional and true to Tesla’s
sleek, minimalist design language.
