If the front left-hand door of your 2021+ Tesla Model 3 or Model Y
won’t unlock/ release when you press 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 1094956-02-E) is the solution 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 door control system.
This switch is the “direct command” for your front left door’s
electric release mechanism: when pressed, it sends a signal to the
door’s locking motor to disengage the latch—critical for easy
interior exit. Unlike generic switches that may have mismatched
finishes or weak signal transmission, this CFN part matches the
2021+ Model 3/Y’s interior matte texture (no glossy “aftermarket”
look) and uses OEM-grade copper contacts to ensure consistent
signal flow, avoiding intermittent failures.
Durability is tailored to daily use: the switch’s housing is
scratch-resistant ABS plastic with a matte coating that resists
finger smudges and wear (ideal for frequent presses). Its tactile
button is calibrated to the original’s “soft click” feedback—firm
enough to prevent accidental presses, gentle enough for easy use.
The wiring connector is a direct plug-and-play match for the door’s
electrical harness, no splicing needed.
Installing it takes basic DIY skills: Pry off the front left door’s
interior switch panel (use a soft trim tool to avoid scratching the
matte surface), disconnect the old switch’s harness, remove the 2
small mounting screws, and swap in the CFN switch. Reattach the
panel, then test by pressing the switch—your door should release
smoothly with no errors.
Note: This switch is exclusive to 2021+ Tesla Model 3/Model Y front left-hand doors and won’t fit older models (2020-) or other door positions. It’s
perfect for fixing unresponsive or worn release switches, keeping
your door’s interior control both functional and visually
consistent with Tesla’s design.
