Door Sensor Issue
Hi,
My rear passenger door sensor (the one that monitors when the door is open or closed) is acting up and constantly signals to my main screen that the door is open, even though it isnt. I removed the small floor panel and can see the long black tube that I assume has the sensor, or wiring to the sensors, to maybe check if it was loose or something but do not know what I am exactly looking for. Looking for any help on the matter since everytime I lock my car the alarm goes off because it detects the door being open.

The first thing I was going to ask is if it has been in an accident, but the salvage title speaks for itself. I would definitely suggest checking it yourself. If you take it to the dealer, they will charge you a diagnostic fee. If you want to save yourself the headache of trying to find it, you can have them diagnose it for you, to tell you what the parts and labor will be, and then try to tackle the repair yourself. I would stay the hard part is trying to find the cause.

If your car was fixed good, don't tell them that you have salvage, thry will never know unless there is any visible signs of accident.

That is true. However, I did go to the dealer for regular maintenence when I first got the car. I think I might have said the car was salvage then Either way, i'll try to play with it tonight to see if maybe there is a loose connection that I can visibly repair. If not, ill probably have to go to the dealer...

It's a "common" issue, even for a non-wrecked 2IS. Here's my thread on the exact same problem and how I fixed it for free.
