The door handle on our 2016 Tesla model S got stuck in the over presented position after it tried to present itself while I was leaning on it. Would not open or retract. Was stuck or jammed in the position it would be in when the door is opened. Interior handle still worked.
If you are having this problem with your door handle try resetting the fuse first before spending any money. It is simple and quick and in my case it worked!

(2015 S85D, fusebox under the hood, on the left). I was leaning on my door on a road trip, it got stuck. At the next charging station I found the relevant fuse, pulled it (took at bit of effort without a fuse-puller), put it back in and voila - the handles worked perfectly again. Eveyone was very impressed, which was a bonus. Thank you.

This worked just as described. I removed the panel near the door and pulled the fuse and then put it back. The rear door handle retracted perfectly. Super easy and took 3 min total

I followed your advice here and I fixed it and I'm crying. Within 24 hours my car was shot up by a bb gun, my tire hit a curb, and then my handle got stuck. My total bill for all of this was going to be well above $3000. You saved me so much money! I have never done anything to fix a car in my life and I have no idea how any of this works yet I was able to accomplish this in under 15 minutes. thank you thank you thank you

I also want to add just in case anyone is American, I found my panel still on the right side door. This is probably obvious to people who know cars, but I was wondering since the steering wheel was on the opposite side for me if everything else would be as well. for Americans, it was on the passenger side.

Did you ever find a permanent fix? The fuse reset works for about a week, but for me it always gets stuck again.

@bbtrevival Жыл бұрын

For me that has been a permanent fix - It originally happened because of a one off physical impedance to the handle so once reset have had no more issues. If yours keeps getting stuck there May be excessive resistance? Have you tried lubing up your door handle(s)? Get a good penetrating oil (not wd40 as that’s technically a cleaner not a lubricant) and spray inside all the door handles to free them up as much as possible. No promises but it might help…???

@AlanMcYou 11 ай бұрын

Face lift model with the latest handle. Handle would sometimes present, and would often self-open the door after the door was pulled closed. If the handle was flush, it could be pressed to open the door (kind of like the model X). Pulled the fuse and the handle went dead. Reinstalling the fuse got me right back to the bad behavior. Bummer.

@bbtrevival 11 ай бұрын

That is a bummer. Was it just the one side? Sounds like the electrics in the handle itself might be playing up.

@AlanMcYou 11 ай бұрын

@@bbtrevival The underlying problem turned out to be a cracked motor gear (the gear that drives the paddle gear. I'm convinced the remaining problems are software. Perhaps the repeated failures sat a code that disables further efforts to use the motor. I'm pretty sure the motor stopped turning a day or two before I pulled the handle apart. I had a spare motor+gear and (directly powered) it now smoothly runs the handle in and out. Sadly, the software refuses to power it. I've forced a software update, but to no avail. Any idea if there is diagnostic software that can clear codes down to the door handle level?

You show the front fuse box but never touched any of the fuses. After taking mine apart I’m realizing there may be no related fuse in the front box…?

@bbtrevival 7 ай бұрын

As mentioned, pre 2016 have all fuses are in the one place in the frunk area. In 2016 onwards, like in this video, some fuses are in frunk and some are in front footwell. I have linked fuse diagrams for both pre and post 2016 in the description of the video. Good luck with it!

where is for window ? whenever i lock my car my driver side window open up.

@bbtrevival 3 ай бұрын

Not sure about a reset for the windows, but have you tried recalibrating it? See below for the instructions from Tesla. For other manufacturers you need to keep holding the button for a further 5 seconds or so after the window stalls. I always do that whenever mine need to be recalibrated. Calibrating Windows In the unlikely event that a window behaves unexpectedly (touches the bright molding, fails to open or close properly, goes down more than normal when the door opens, etc.), you can calibrate it to potentially fix the issue. To calibrate a window: Close the door with the affected window. Sit in the driver's seat and close the driver door. Using the window's switch on the driver's door, raise the affected window until it stalls. Using the window's switch on the driver's door, lower the affected window until it stalls. Repeat step 3 and raise the affected window until it stalls. The window should now be calibrated. If the issue continues after attempting the calibration procedure a couple times, contact Tesla.

Do you mean disconnect the 12 volt battery? Wanted to demonstrate/pinpoint it to the specific circuit and not do just a general electrical reset. But yes in a pinch, disconnecting the 12 volt battery may achieve the same outcome.

My 2015 S rear handle got stuck out and I powered down the car via Safety option on the MCU then powered up and did a 2 button reset and the handle came good! I guess I was just lucky.
