passanger side door problem

Post by sublime19 »

everytime I open my passanger side window, and then drive the light keeps blinking on and off indicating the door isn't closed properly but it is.
something's loose and it gets really annoying, especially when im changing lanes or turning, the light keeps flicking on and off and it sh*ts me like no tomorrow.
how do i fix this?

rip it apart and make sure everything is tightened lol

i have the same problem, but not as bad, it only happened a couple of times when i have the chance to go stupidly fast around a right hand turn (when my "personal lowering kit" - aka fat friend sitting in the passenger side)

i bet it'll be something stupid like the glass moving and knocking a slightly lose connection or something like that.

Check the light switch mounted on the inside of the door sill. Has a rubber boot over it. Should be springy to press in & out - if not, replace it!

Switch

Yeah, agree with Bennoz, probably the switch in the lower corner of the middle pillar. The other thing you could try is adjusting the latch. While your door is closing, it may not be closing enough.

Failing that, a quick fix would be to stick somthing thin on the inside of the door where the switch hits it
