Does the warning light pop on when driving fast or is it on all the time? The bonnet switch is a frequent cause of 'open door' warnings when the ram air effect slightly lifts the bonnet. If so there's an easy fix.

The light is on all the time.
Am i right in thinking if interior lights go out when doors closed,then it can't be a door fault.

I seems logical, but I can't confirm that.


Another possibilty is water in the bonnet switch. The recent wet weather gets everywhere.

As I understand it. If you have a door open warning and you try to lock your doors and it beeps but locks it is one of the three passenger doors at fault.if it beeps but does not lock it is the driver's door. If it doesn't beep it is bonnet or boot
