Door Sensor

[SoobDood05]

Hi all, got a question about My 90 loyale, when the doors open it reads shut on the cluster, and reads open when its closed:lol: i wanna connect the pink plugs that makes the "tink tonk" noise when u open the door, seems the p.o unplugged it cause it was always going off;) the passenger side door also has a dent from the p.o hitting something too if that would affect it, i cant find the location of the sensor. anyone had this problem and fixed it? or knows anythin on this subject Id like to know, Not in any rush, just something id like to resolve:grin: thanks!

You should clarify if it only happens with one door, or all of them.

 

Haven't had it happen to me, but if it's just one door your symptoms would seem to indicate that:

--Something like the door sensor is plugged in backwards (hard to do, but possible).

--There's a short in one of those wires to the sensor.

--Sensor itself has gone weird.

 

If it's every door that does it, could possibly be the seat belt timer.

Its the Passenger side front door only, i found where the sensor is, i figured it went haywire when the door got smashed, cause the dent is right where the sensor is located, i had to take off a panel, then remove the seat, i found that while the car had been sitting in a feild for sometime just cause the clutch was bad and the owner didnt want to replace it, mice had begun chewing on the wires,(same situation with the windshield fluid sprayer motor plug wire) i taped it with electrical tape and now it works, but not the way it should, (says colsed all the time now) but hey its a 21 year old door sensor, not looking forward to find what else could be chewed up by mice:rolleyes:

 

Cheers

Yep, basically what you did with your repair was close the circuit. Permanent like lol. Plenty of Sube's in the yards, shouldn't be a problem finding yourself a new sensor.
