If the rear left-hand door of your 2021+ Tesla Model 3 or Model Y
won’t unlock or release when pressing the interior switch—whether
it’s unresponsive, sticks mid-press, or triggers a “door release
error” on the touchscreen—this CFN matte electric release switch
(matching OEM part 1094958-02-G) is the reliable fix to restore
seamless door control. As an engineered replacement (not Tesla
OEM), it replicates the original’s electrical specs, matte finish,
and mounting design, ensuring perfect integration with your Model
3/Y’s rear door control system and visual consistency with the
interior.
This switch acts as the direct “trigger” for the rear left 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 passenger exit from the rear. 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 tailored to daily use: the switch housing is
scratch-resistant ABS plastic with a matte coating that resists
finger smudges and wear (even with frequent use by kids or
passengers). The button’s tactile feedback is calibrated to the
original—offering a soft, clear “click” to confirm activation,
while being firm enough to avoid accidental presses (e.g., from
bags leaning against the door panel). The wiring connector is a
plug-and-play match for the rear left door’s electrical harness; no
cutting or splicing is needed, simplifying installation.
Installation takes basic DIY skills and a soft trim tool:
- Gently pry off the rear left 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, then
swap it with the CFN switch.
- Reattach the harness, snap the panel back into place, and
test—pressing the switch should release the door smoothly, with no
touchscreen errors.
Note: This switch is exclusively for the rear left-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 right). 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
design language.
