Your description sounds like a sensor is malfunctioning. the close sensor needs to be slightly LESS sensitive, based on your "assistance" description.

Tap-n-Go V2010

Maybe a suggestion, take back where you got it if they can not fix it they may give you a new one.
I did find two suggestion one was to loosen the adjustment screw and try pulling out further and the other is Thank you for your interest in our Wright Products Tap N Go Closer. The closer rod has too much tension to pull out manually with your hands. We recommend connecting the rod to the door jamb bracket then pulling the cylinder to extend the rod.
I also saw where someone said the connectors you screw to the wood are plastic if they are be careful not to break them.
Below video of installation .

You are supposed to push the door open a little more then it closes. I see some other people have the same problem as you from the reviews and comments on this site below.

My digidoor 1000n motor recently did not close all the way leaving a gap of about 60 mm and yesterday the gap seemed a bit bigger more like 100 mm how do i set it to close fully

on the rail there should be 2 cylindrical black magnetic read switches with white wires connected to them.
Those are the open and close distance units
sometimes they come loose and move with the vibration of the motor when opening the door

The door on my 2007 7 series resists being pulled to the close position

The latch can be adjusted, but make sure there isn't something wrong with the seal or hinges.

Location of heater blend door on 97 catera

Im assuming you dont have heat right ? Well the 1 you will be looking for is on the heater core box behind the radio/next 2 the glove box, but the actuator that controls it is closer 2 the floor on passenger side behind kick panel on right side of radio , I had the same problem last year and could not replace it without taking the dash out so I just disconnected the actuator and tied the door open. This will cause you 2 loose the A/C unless you close the door and mine dont work so it stays open all year

The van was hit on the back passenger side resulting in a dent . The open door light along with the interior lights flashed when I hit a bump. I hear something that sounds like a fan continuosly blowing....

I think this may be the "closer" motor continuously trying to gain a positive latch--and unable to do so. This could be from a damaged latch switch.

The sliding door has three motors, a slide motor, a release (or unlatch) motor, and a closer (or latching) motor. The open door light and interior lights coming on seem to indicate that the "closed and latched" switch is sometimes open-- allowing the closer motor to continue to operate.

Another possibility is that the dent has changed the geometry of the door mechanism especially the draw of the pull cable. The slide motor has a sensor that pulses when it runs. The door management controller counts the number of pulses of the slide motor sensor to determine when the door is fully closed and then stops the slide motor. At that point, the closer motor operates to latch the door. If the cable geometry has changed, the door controller may be shutting off the slide motor prematurely and the closer motor cannot complete the latch.

When i close the door on my 95 chevy corsica it doesnt close. it just bounces back. please help im a girl and my parents dont know so use small simple words please.

I think what has happened is that the door latch (the one in the door) has somehow closed and won't let the door shut normally.
Here's how it works. The door latch consists of two major parts. One is the short, round metal tube thing that is attached to the car body about halfway up where the door shuts. Inside the door there is a latch in a slot that lines up with round metal tube thing when you shut the door. I think what has happened is the latch has closed, not allowing the door latch to slide over the metal tube thing and close completely. If you look at the latch in the door slot you'll (hopefully) see what I mean. Now how to fix it.
You'll need a medium to large screwdriver and maybe some help from a friend. First, lift the outside door handle like you are going to open the door. Hold it up. Then, with the screwdriver, push the latch in the door slot UPWARD until it clicks and latches.
It is difficult to put this in words but it usually is an easy fix. No damage done to your car (unless you REALLY slammed the door hard numerous times..).
Please re-post with any questions.

Door light

Hi leighturn
The most likely cause, is a bad switch on one of your doors.... When the door is opened the switch is released, so that it can earth and complete the circuit....The power is connected to the courtesy light and is grounded through the door switch, completing the circuit....
