Passenger door open (closed but saying open and window down 0.5 inch)

[paulatb]

Hi Folks,

2009 GTS (38k) playing up. Saying the door is open (its closed), appears not to be latching or syncing with window.

Battery is fully charged and never had the issue before....

Keen to hear everyone's thoughts on this - help!

Battery reset?

 

[paulatb]

tried that already mate...

Central locking reset, in here somewhere.

If not then I’d be looking at the sensor for saying the door is closed.

See my thread posted just now - might be the answer?

I would open the door and try to manually rotate the locking pawl into the locked position with a suitable device. If the car still thinks it is open then the is something going on with the lock mechanism.

Hi Zep,

Tried all of that, also tried battery reset etc etc.

Best,

My, similar problem was on 4200CC. Door closed, light off on instrument panel but window staying down, as if door was open. Didn't stop me engaging gear and driving though. Water ingress had fried door control on the window control module in the footwell. Unsure if your car has same set up.

What was the outcome? Does the locking pawl rotate? When it is in the door locked position does the window return to the closed position?

Im basically havifn the same problem in my 4200. Except it is the other way around and the car thinks the door is closed so wont dip the window when opening.

Ive already replaced the faulty lock mechanism and checked all the microswitches. Is there a reset procedure I can do?

Hi, is the microswitch inside the lock? Or do they sell the micro switch separately? Cheers

It's in the lock, I believe, at least the one that says the door is open or closed. Cheap enough part and not too hard to swap out

The window has 3 switches.

Ones for the inner/outer door handles and one in the window regulator.

Thanks! I see the lock in Scuderia for around 100 quid.

They've gone up, then. Used to be about £50 but that was some years back

Hi all, just to report that I’ve changed the lock and the problem is solved. Thanks!
