Faulty proximity sensor in rear double door can it be bypass/ bridged

[Luke sky walker]

Hi all I am in france on a road trip in my converted citroen relay van. yesterday I had a warning alert saying rear doors open so I did the sliding door sensor as I thought it was that nope . I opened the pannel on the lock side of the rear doors and found a badly balls up of a attempt to repair some damaged cable by a previous owner. so I spent most of the day chasing cables so now they are or should be ok.next I found that it looks like the striker plate had moved so after a few choice words and half a can of wd40 I got that free and lined up ok I checked and lubed the mechanism and made sure the doors we shutting properly but nothing worked. So next I checked the fuses and the regulator all happy.
Am I missing something as I am totally cheesed off with it now but as I can only lock the rear double doors and the drivers side I cannot leave it on its own. Is their a way of bypassing or bridging the sensor or possible cutting a cable just so I can lock it up safely while I finish my long planned road trip. I have spare door locks and thing back in the uk so I can fix it back home plus I am on a tight budget so a garage is no a realistic proposition can anyone help me as my wife is having kittens cheers all from ian

Most proximity switches have 3 wires, 2 for power and 1 the signal. Join the plus to the signal wire and that should be the normal signal.

An old Volvo I had got crud in the bonnet sensor. One wire twisted and inserted across contacts effectively bypassed it.

Can you trigger the switch with a piece of metal? If so check which contact becomes live and that should be the missing signal.

If it is the same as a transit then no ,you can't bypass them as the switch is inside the lock assembly
