Title: Drivers door open alert, when door is closed.
Post by: monk180 on February 21, 2017, 09:06:28 pm

Hi,

Where is the sensor for decding if the door is closed, the alert comes on when the door is shut.

I can see no push sensor anywhere on the door frame, so I assume it must be in the lock.

Maybe spray the lock with WD 40?

Thanks

Yeah its on the lock. Two switches in there one triggers if the door is locked or unlocked, the other if it is open or closed. You will be lucky to get the wd in there to get at the switch.
Have a look at this to see how it works

OK

Thanks for the reply! I will probably just suffer it till it gets very bad.

Cheers
