So I've discovered this recently developed problem. When I press the digital dash scan car button it detects when I open the left door (beeps on L DOOR) but even though I have the passenger door wide open, it scans through it like it is closed. I've tried wiggling the sensor and everything with no luck. I even tried unplugging the right door senor connector and still didn't pick it up, wouldn't that automatically make the system detect some sort of fluctuation to detect it? I should mention that I just got it back from paint so I don't have the headlights installed (actually not detecting those either ) and the hatch installed (IS detecting that) Could this be down to a burnt fuse or the fact that I don't have my headlights plugged in and the left door sensor is reliant on this? any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

If not plugged in - it will not show a problem on the DIC.

I recently did some testing to some of my GTA stuff and at first just had the dash harness connected to the engine harness. The DIC found a problem with the coolant level so I grounded that wire & it didn't pick up any other problems. Then I connected the front headlight harness and it found a problem with one of the front lights.... still nothing at the back or doors. Then I connected the rear harness and it found a problem with a back light. Once the bad bulb was replaced the DIC showed no problems once again.



The whole time my door and hatch sensors were not connected; and no problem was found.

I don't *think* the headlight harness is related to the door sensors in any way. I'm guessing that the right hand door sensor is either disconnected, ( possible broken wire maybe ) or defective.
