Open the cover and look around for openings in the where the cover closes. In those openings there are interlock switches. 1 of 2 things have happened.
1, The switch may have become dislodged.
2. Look on the cover you have opened for actuators, ( pieces of plastic sticking out) that would go into those holes to turn the switch on when closed. Those often break off.
One of those 2 items is your problem, The switch is just not being actuated properly.
Make sure nothing is binding the cover also.
Ok so all actuators are where they should be and striking, covering sensors etc. None of the plastics are damaged and I have swapped out the catch sensor for a known working one.

There could be a few reasons why your Kyocera FS-2000D is giving you the "close the top cover" error message even though the cover is closed. Here are a few things you can try:
Check the top cover switch: There is a switch located near the hinge of the top cover that tells the printer when the cover is closed. If this switch is stuck or malfunctioning, it can cause the error message. Try cleaning the switch or replacing it if necessary.
Check the toner cartridge: Sometimes, if the toner cartridge is not seated properly, it can cause the printer to think that the top cover is not closed. Try removing and reinserting the toner cartridge to see if that helps.
Check the firmware: In some cases, a firmware update can fix issues with the top cover sensor. Check the Kyocera website for any available firmware updates and follow the instructions to install them.
If none of these solutions work, it's possible that there is a hardware issue with the printer that will require professional repair.
The message indicates that the printer door or the cover located on the top is not closed properly, so you need to re-open the door or the printer cover and close it accurately.

The Exit 2 interlock switch is either broken or off it's base or defective. If you open up the top door on left side of print, there is a push button switch that mounts on the back side. If you're standing on the left side of printer it's located on the top left. Make sure it's mounted properly and try to push the button with your finger and see if error goes away, if not replace switch, part number 110E11580.
it is in the left front of the machine the cover you open to change toner should have a actuator that pushes the switch that could be broken off or 1 of your toner cartidges may not be set correctly remove all of them and close the cover if it says install toners do that 1 at a time see if it keeps saying install cartriges until all are installed or you see close cover message after 1 is installed that would be the 1 not installed correctly causing your close cover message
The cover sensor might have dislodged or not in its proper position. You could try to reset your printer to determine if there's a hardware fault. Remove the cartridges from your printer. Close the cover. Unplug and replug your printer into the power source. When the printer turns on completely, reinsert your cartridges. Check if error appears again. (Error: 'Cover open, please close the cover')
The two covers on top are just not aligned properly. Open both top covers (one opens to the right one to the left). Close the cover that opens toward the right 1st (you should hear it click into place) then close the second cover. Press "ok" should be good to go.
I had the same issue, turning off didn't solve it. There's a plastic flap the width of the print tray just inside that I flipped up and it solved this problem. It is directly in front of the ink tanks. I'm assuming we flipped it down and forgot about it. It seems it needs to stay up, although you wouldn't notice it when it flips down when you close the top, as it closes just fine with it down. It's easy to overlook. This took me a few hours to realize.
The top of the flap has a half circle cut out of it in the middle.
No solution, but I have the same problem. THe printer starts up fine, I hear no grinding noises or other "funny" nioses, and then displays no error message... UNTIL I ask it to print. Then I get a message that says, "Pls (please) Open Cover".
I open the cover and it says "Please Close Cover".
I close the cover and it says, "Please Open Cover"
Unplug the printer. Hold the printer cover open while you plug in the printer. Then wait for the printer to power on while still holding the cover open.
Then close the cover.
The buttons should work and th error message should be gone.
