    Got my GU, annoying door switch problem

    Hey folks, picked up my 2009 GU ST wagon this morning. Half way home, door open light popped up on the dash. All doors were 100% shut. Got home tried pushing in all switches manually one by one. None of them seemed to set off the light on dash and/or the interior light. Very annoying. Dealer reckons he didn't have that issue or see it at all.
    I know it's most likely a rooted switch on one of the doors, but anyone had such issues? It's just annoying not knowing which door/switch it is.

    It will be one of the rear doors....

    Place a couple of washers under the small door switch and see if that fixes it, but sometimes it is the big door.

    See this is why I love forums... Almost instant problem solving replies by knowledgeable people. Mic I owe you one. The fact that it could be one of the rear doors never crossed my mind, as I didnt think there was a switch back there. Cheers mate!

    It's on the small rear door on the lower closing side.

    It is a very common problem with GU's, especially with bigger tyres on the rear door ...I have had it with 2 out of 4 of mine......

    Yup, checked it today definitely the left rear (smaller) door switch. Thanks folks. Just seems like the switch is spaced too far into the door.

    Yeah get a magnet, cut two peices off it and stuck them one on the other where the switch strikes, fixed mine, 5c (maybe even free) fix

    I have the same problem, but it is the larger door, even though it is shut properly. I usually open it again and slam it hard and it fixes the problem, but will look at fixing it properly now are reading the above advice

    Careful when slamming, it can do damage to the horizontal cracking along the latch inside near the window. Hope that make sense.
