If the front 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 pressing, or
triggers a “door release error” on the touchscreen—this CFN matte
electric release switch (matching OEM part 1094957-02-E) is the key
to restoring 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 door control
system and consistent visual harmony with the interior.
This switch serves as the direct “command center” for the front
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 interior exit. Unlike generic switches that
often have mismatched glossy finishes or unstable signal
transmission, this CFN part mirrors the 2021+ Model 3/Y’s factory
matte interior texture (no jarring “aftermarket” shine) and uses
OEM-grade copper contacts. These contacts ensure steady signal
flow, eliminating intermittent failures that leave you 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 presses from
passengers). The button’s tactile feedback is calibrated to match
the original—offering a soft, distinct “click” that confirms
activation, while being firm enough to prevent accidental presses.
The wiring connector is a perfect plug-and-play match for the front
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 front right door’s interior switch panel (use
the trim tool to avoid scratching the matte surface or door panel).
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the old switch 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, secure the panel back to
the door, and test—pressing the switch should release the door
smoothly, with no touchscreen errors.
Note: This switch is exclusively for the front right-hand door of 2021+ Tesla Model 3
and Model Y. It won’t fit 2020 or older models (different door electrical
design) or other door positions (front left, rear). It’s ideal for
replacing worn, stuck, or unresponsive original switches, keeping
your Model 3/Y’s interior functional and visually consistent with
Tesla’s design language.
