Hi all!
I gave someone a jump start last night (their car - not them!) after doing that i found that i couldn't lock the car and on the instrument cluster display it said the door was open. Looking at the window it has not gone up fully - it still works but leaves about 1cm when it's closed up to the top - even when the door is closed (as the windows are pillarless/frameless when you open the door it drops a bit and and goes up a bit when you shut it.
I have searched and searched, i have been through the manual and on servicebox but i cannot find anything to help.
I am thinking its a pressure switch (that senses when the door is open to operate the interior lights etc) has got stuck due to the cold (i'm in Germany at the moment its -6c).
The passenger side door operates perfectly.
Has anyone got any ideas how the door senses it's shut or not? I can't se the usual pressure switch that other cars have to tell the interior lights to come on when you open the door.
Or has anyone got any idea if theres a fuse thats blown somewhere?
Absolutely any help would be appreciated - i can't take the car out as it wont lock as it thinks the door is open! Arghhhhhhh!
Thanks
Owen
