Hey, so my 94 St is havin a small electrical issue. My Open Door light stays on 24/7. Even with car off and both doors shut. I checked both sensors and did everything I can to stop it...but the light stays on. Is there any way to override this. Possible a wire to cut or a fuse to pull?
Thanks guys -------------------- |

Take your sensor apart, and clean the contacts with some 200+ sandpaper. That may have a buildup on them, causing the sensor to read falsely.
If that doesn't work, you can take the fuse out. IIRC its a 10A fuse located in the drivers kickpanel labelled cabin. Pulling this fuse will also affectyour interior lights aswell. |

You have no idea what your talking abt. He might needs to sand it if the light doesnt light up when he opens the door. His light is on all the time meaning the contacts still conduct. --------------------  98% completion --- aaRon |
