Intermittent Door Open Light

[steve2006]

For the last few weeks the “Door Open” light has been flickering on and off on the dash.

Thinking door switches I removed them,cleaned them and gave them a good dose of switch cleaner and the the problem went....sorted or so I thought.

Next time out and the same problem was back.

I then noticed the rear passenger door wasn’t quite flush to the body and further investigation revealed that the door catch plate was loose.

Removed the black plastic cover and found both fixing screws were loose, since tightening no more annoying door open light.

That's the sort of problems you can cope with. Thoughts of scrapping it I'll bet😉

it's great to know these slight idiosyncracies with our now ancient cars

It's all good knowledge for when the same might happen to mine in a year or ten's time
