Post:Door Problems

From Fozzee.net

Well, I resolved my car door sensor problem tonight (the problem is that the switch has failed, so the car (incorrectly) thinks that the door is either open or closed (depending on mood))...

A google (and a look at the manual) suggests that the glass and everything needs to come out to get to the latch mechanism, to replace or resolder the faulty microswitch... Book suggests 4hrs shop time... Given that it's going to snow tomorrow, I discovered that I can just unplug the big door connector that contains (Among other things) the CAN-bus connection... The Computer doesn't seem to care that the back door is "not present", and it cant throw the "door ajar" code with the door controller missing. Only downside is that nothing in the door, speaker included, works... I'll fix it for real once it's warm...
