Door open red warning lights on door

Post by steve2003rs6 » Fri Jan 13, 2023 2:47 pm

Noticed front passenger door red light wasn’t working when door open.
So I replaced the door bulb.
Now none of the door lights work
And the dashboard shows all doors ajar.

Any ideas ?

Also now when I lock the car a short time later the car alarm is triggered.

Check for water under the carpet around the CCM. Maybe the fuses. Can you connect to the CCM with the Vagcom? Module 35 from memory, but could be wrong.

What bulb did you replace with? Regular or China special LED?

Regular.
I reckon a fuse but don’t know which one.

This looks similar to what is in the owner manual.

Also none of the interior lights are working.

Everything was working until I changed the passenger door light bulb.

Ok replaced fuse 14. Interior lights back working.
All doors open showing on dash now back to normal.

I switched the 10A fuse no 14 with the fuse below it which is also 10A. Thanks for diagram suz.

Battery indicator warning now showing on dash.
I will nip out and get a new fuse to replace that one.

Thanks for the help guys.

Cool. Saved me the trouble of firing up Elsa.
