Door Ajar Light Stays On, But Doors Shut

[nzturbo]

contacts look all good at the plug by the actuater in door.

interior light has had to have bulb removed as this stays on too .

Damn thing thinks the doors open all right.

Just locks and unlocks, then horn sounds..................

If you're only a few days out of warranty they should be nice and cover you, as long as you haven't been a *beep* to them hahaha.

Mate, sounds like an issue with the latch..

Use a screw drive the size of the hinge.

Then push it into the door latch, hold it there and see if you can jiggle it a little..

Could be a latch issue.. Not recognizing the door hinge on the center pillar.

cheers , 4DZILR will give that a go.

Just had latches out again !~!~~

WD 40 'ed the latches with heaps of the stuff directly into latch.

No change . still locks and unlocks straight away.

Door handle workin real nice now thou !!!!!!

Is there a chance that door lock switch on the dash has something to do with it ??????

Notice this makes a small clank when it pushed .

Any ideas fellas ????????????????????????????

cheers

[nzturbo]

Any one know where the BCM module is ??

Need to check this/contacts here I think .

With both doors un-pugged we get the same result,

lock -unlock beep beep beep .................

thanks

thanks F-wolf , looks like a real bugger to get at to check connector !!

Another question , are there plugs in the bottom of the A pillar behind those kick panels for the doors ????????

thanks

It would be behind the dash. The BEM is behind the stereo so it would be just behind there.. and I would think it would run direct to the actuator.

I reckon get yourself a tester. Then just start testing all the different points.

From the actuator to the wiring within the door..

When you'd press the central lock button, it will send current to the actuator, if your tester shows this, then you know its not the power as the problem. But something to do with the actuator. etc etc

Start ruling things out instead of just cleaning them champ coz you will clean for ages! loll

You right , need to start eliminating stuff.

Un pluged both actuaters and it still done it ????

Un-plugged interior light plug at A pillar , still done it.

BCM looking like culprit.

Have just removed tissue tray, will have a wiggle round with what wires I can see ta mora.

Was a heap of crap behind tissue box and a loose end cap off a heater vent !!

Ute has had a frontal crash before I owned it for sure.

Wonder how easy this BCM is to upset ??

thanks
