door ajar sensor

starbuck478 · Sep 9, 2010

hey i've been having the same problem with my 2003 expy xlt, i just replaced the front driver side door lock acutator (the one i guessed was malfunctioning) yet i'm still getting the same problem

(door ajar light coming on when all doors are closed) which makes me think it may be another door with the same problem. does anyone know how to identify the door actuator that needs replacing before i replace all of them?

Here's what I did. My interior lights were staying on unless I manually shut them off. If you start driving they turn off. Pull over and with the engine still running open each door one at a time to see which one doesn't activate the interior lights. That's your bad one.

I'm going to try that. My 03 has the same problems and its been driving me crazy. The problem seemed to crop up when its damp or rainy.
