Ragdoll

This morning it didn't do this on the way to work. But now it just bongs that the door is open and shows that the driver door is open on the LCD.

I don't see a contact on the door to fiddle with either. Very annoying.

Plus I can't turn on the alarm when it thinks the door is open.

The car was parked in a heavy rain storm last night, could be moisture... but I'd think I would have see the issue this morning right away, then?

Anyone have a starting point for me to fix this?
THANKS.

Probably more now.

definitely find the contact and clean it; was my issue.

I have the same problem intermittently. Where are the contacts?

Ragdoll

Where are the contacts? Thanks.

perhaps WD40 would also work, can't guarantee that.

*** Anyone know where the contacts are? Are they in the latch on the "outside" of the door?

shot some contact cleaner in my door mech, slammed it a couple times to get it working. you'll want to apply some lube to the mech after the contact cleaner evaporates.

I am very handy with my S4, but if I have to go through it like that writeup,it's going to the shop!
