I'm not sure about the electric doors. We have air doors and I've replaced door switches a few times already on our Thomas buses, as well as headlight switches; multiple times on same bus. I would say start with replacing the door switch as it might have a loose connection on the inside. Seems like these Thomas switches are junk in my opinion.

Not sure about Thomas but a lot of intermittent electric door issues on ICs have been caused by maladjusted switches causing the electric motor to overheat and trip the internal thermal protection device.

Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback

I had a c2 with door issues almost the same but the door would close half way then open a bunch of times and it would come out of it also , I did not find anything wrong but i lubed up all the switches and air cylinder with air tool oil (took air lines out and pushed through fittings) and the door has not acted up since
