Door Ajar Message Reading Incorrect.......

[Guest dmc]

when i open either the right rear door or front passenger door on my 2001 galaxy,the display reads passenger door open.

after approx 5 secs,the display beeps again and changes to right rear door open.

other doors display correctly.

 

has anyone else had a simular problem,and what was the cure?

 

im sure i read somewhere on this board that someone had the module replaced,but i cant find that post.

 

thanks in advance.

it would sound like the module playing up

had the same thing happing on a sierra with aws module

shame you cant just try one,to see if its that ot not

Check to operation of the door switches and the wireing to them, do they still have their protective rubber boots on?

the door switches are two gang switches, they do both the door ajar warning and the courtesy lights, try replacing the switches and see how you get on?

door swithes are all fine.

i am pretty sure its a module fault.

any other opinions?

We had the same on our Gal until they switched the instrument pod (for other reasons) the new version corrected this - They also checked door switches etc but they were fine. Garage said it was a known fault on early facelift versions, turns out our instrument module was earlier than the car !! itself.

 

Original post (I think) - see starts here

 

I Think this is the one about incorrect door identification Here

I had this fault on my 2001 Galaxy, the only fix for it is to replace the instrument cluster complete. You cannot just change the information module.
