Hi, I'm Kamille and I'm new to this. I need to know how to fix the problems with the lights in my car. Whenever I'm driving even though all doors and trunk are closed tightly my door open light flashes off and on. I manually turned off ever interior light and somewhere there seems to be a light on. Can someone tell me how to resolve this problem? It's a real pain in the butt. Especially at night. If anyone has any solutions I'd gladly appreciate them.

Thanks

It sounds like it's your door microswitch which is a pain to get to and replace.

Here's the alternative fix, which i ended up doing. I didn't want to scratch my window tint by removing the window, so i opted for this cheap fix which worked.

If you or someone you know wants to try and tackle the problem itself.

Here's a video to show you how to get to the door module.

Then the microswitch itself.
