Open Doors Indicator

[Uditha88]

Mates,

Why does "Open doors indicator" keep "ON" even after the all doors are closed.

Happened this recently after few unplug-re-plug operations inside the car interiors, doors etc.

Could be a wiring problem..

One of the door jamb switches must not have been reconnected when the interior was put back together. Should be a straightforward fix.

Hard to find in that way bcoz warning light is always ON.

Any tip to guess culprit door?

Due to this, security system wars even after locked by key. (bcoz it thinks that 1 or more doors still open)

Can you remove the door switches from the outside? If so take all the switches out one by one and remove the wire (the light goes off because the switch makes a circuit by making contact with the body which holds the negative line). If you are lucky you will find the culprit without having to remove all the switches.

'Uditha88',

Your post says (after few unplug-re-plug operations inside the car interiors) this is the cause of your problem.

You have connected one wire not to the correct socket due to this the earth return wire of the indicator is earthing at present.

"Open doors indicator" keep "ON" due to a wrong connection.

Get help of a good auto electrical repairer and correct same.

Its three days since the OP.Hope you have done the rectification by now. If not stop the painful DIY attempts , just visit an electrical guy or may try a Darley road roadside repair guy. Its a very simple and straight forward case. Takes only minutes.
