Help with warning light...



  1.2 16v Dynamique
Help with open door warning light...

My 1.2 16V has got the anti car jacking device where it locks the doors once you pull away. Since the weather turned a bit colder the doors lock as normal and the red light comes on on the switch on the centre dash to the left of the hazard switch by the vents. But after about a minute or so's driving the red light goes off on the switch and the open door warning light on the instrument display flickers on and off, seems to be everytime I go over a sizeable bump in the road.

The doors stay locked though as when you pull up and open them you can here the central locking unlock them.

Anyome know if this is just down to a dodgy sensor (maybe a loose connection) and where the sensors are on the doors and tailgate so I can check all the contacts etc....

Thanks muchly in advance....:D

Check the sensors on the doors check they work. Idealy either unplug them or tape them closed and work out which is faulty.

Stupid question mate but I have the mechanical abilities of a duck, what do the sensors look like and where abouts on the doors are they?

Cheers

turn off till you can mend
1. Keys in - ignition or engine on
2. press and hold lock button until car beeps
3. job done - no more anti jack

i know it is not a soloution to the underlying fault but will aid if it is annoying till you get it looked at.

if you want more help i know where the wires are behind the button etc.

Cheers for your help peeps, all I really want is to stop the warning light flashing on the dash as I might PX the thing soon so need to stop it.

Will try both suggestions over the weekend, weather permitting...:approve:

if you are p/x at a garage i wouldnt even bother,
dont tell them and let them sort it out after a customer has got it - evil maybe but it is off youre head they should have checked for faults -lol
