Ben_BAXR6 Member 49 Member For: 8y 6m 25d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 13/12/16 12:18 AM Author Share Posted 13/12/16 12:18 AM Only two things that have been touched are the rear drivers door has been replaced, and I had the roof lining retrimmed. Had no issues until that point. Ive gone through all 4 doors and cant see anything out of the ordinary, Ive spoken to the trimmer and he only unplugged the lights and plugged them back in, and they're all working, so Im looking at the rear D/S door, but everything is all plugged in, nothing loose or damaged, but I'm not sure if it's something to do with the actual closing mechanism etc. Interim answer is remove gloves from footwell and overhead DVD player, and replace broken rear reading light, but I probably wont be able to get it back to the paint shop until next year now I don't think. Hence trying to look for the answer myself.

Check to see which door switch isn't working and replace it. Will cost less than swapping parts to find the issue.

I'd rather plug in a code reader and test via a laptop before stripping doors.

Imho if you can't drive a multimeter and don't own a screwdriver you shouldn't be trying to fix electrical gremlins on your own. Certainly a plug in solution is easier but not my first port of call.

Might be time to invest. Ill have a geez tomorrow. OBD2 reader might help as well. Would my SCT hand controller show anything up? or do I need a OBD reader?
