Car doesn't reckonize the doors open...
« on: 05 February 2013, 19:09 »
Wondering if some one can help me here

As the topic subject says my car doesn't reckonize the doors being open on the dash..?
Also doesn't show the lights as being on unless full beam is on
Buzzer doesn't go off when the lights are on with the door open (just the ignition on)
Interior light doesn't come on with the door open 

Scanned vcds lite (registered) threw it but doesn't throw anything up.

Any help will be much appreciated cheers.
