Wrong Door Open Warning

[Mirez]

I'm tracking an unusual issue with the standard ford alarm where it keeps going off for no reason. I'm currently investigating the door switches as somethings not quite right - If:

 

Drivers door open - Message "Drivers Door Open" appears

Passenger door open - Message "Passenger Door Open" appears

Left Rear door open - Message "Left Rear Door Open" appears

Right Rear door open - Message "Passenger Door Open" appears

 

Now very occationally opening the rear right door displays the correct "Right Rear Door Open" message but most of the time it says passenger door instead. I've swapped around the switches and bought a new one for that door (they are only

Ahhh ok, do you know of any other symptoms? I'm guessing this was a warrenty only issue and not a recall?

 

Its had a new battery just last year and the terminals are all cleaned up, reviewing the CCTV (after a 4am incident!) the interior lights didn't come on so I'm only have suspecting its related to this other issue and that it might be the old ultrasonics causing grief instead...

other symptoms were problems with the fuel gauge IIRC it would read low when we knew it was fullish

 

when our alarm went off the lights didn't flash either .....

oh and the reason was the continual 'Check pad warning'

 

search (advanced) using 'slow, fuel' without quotes and nikpv in the members box should give 5 hits

I'll take a look thanks...

 

There are no other symptoms like that, certainly no pad warnings and the fuel guage is spot on (though why there is no "range" function on the galaxy is a mystery!). The indicators flash when the alarm is activated but on most other cars I've had if a door ajar switch was the culprit the interior lights would have come on at the point of trigger as they are basic switched units.
