Q: my door sensors aren't working. It thinks my doors are open
my door sensors aren't working. It thinks my doors are open when I am driving. If I am sitting in the vehicle with the engine off, it thinks the doors are open and therefor all of the interior lights are on. This is dragging on the battery I am sure. I do some Uber driving so it actually presents a safety concern when I am leaving a dropoff or pickup with blind spots at night due to glare.
My car has 80150 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
