    door open light on dash is shutting off and on

    Hi! does anyone knows what could be wrong with the wiring connections to the door light switches? Doors are tightly closed, lights goes on when running on humpy-bumpy and goes off on another humpy-bumpy.

    I've check all the door switches. All working good.

    check your globes the holders maybe streched,check the fuse might be a broken wire
    might be just the truck my old one had that problem but never fixed it

    Fiddle with your back doors. Mine had an issue with the "big" backdoor not being closed properly ( and the door ajar light flickering on and off) , banging it shut solved the problem. Ruff but effective

    check the door is shut properly, you may need to adjust the door latch to close tighter to stop the light flickering.

    Mines the same. My trouble was the back door sensor. At first i put a ball of blue tack in the rubber to beef it up a bit to stop it, but it came back again. I find that stuff moving in the back would push on the door making it flash.

    I've tried all like what in the many replies here before i had the post. Works at times but sometimes doesn't. It irritates me sometimes. I ignore most of the time. I just can't bring on the alarm if i step out with the light on before i shutdown the engine. Running on a rough road would solve it before i park and after banging it lightly but doesn't flick off . hahaha! I find it more gentle than banging the doors so hard.

    Thank you for all replies. I will post again when I fine an ultimate solution or when someone post his.

    Pressing very hard on every sensor is tighter than any magnet pull. it didn't work. Thank you.
