Where or how does the driver door open sensor work?
I recently replaced the drivers door wiring harness due to broken wires causing controllers to stay awake and drain the battery. Since then, many times when I open the drivers door the interior lights do not come on and the dash diagram of the car with the open door is not indicated. Sometimes the lights will come on and then quickly turn off, with the car dash diagram showing the car door opening and then quickly closing, when the door is still open.
Is there a connection inside the door that I need to check? Is it the connection on the outside (door skin side) that goes into the lock?
The entire harness replacement was not too difficult, I did worry about getting the door skin off and back on without scratching and properly aligned. So, if needed, I can take everything off again.
