Have just completed the 1100km trek from ACT to Byron. My 2005 multivan ran fine but on arrival has decided that although closed, it shall continually sound the alarm that the rear drivers sliding door is open. Local auto electricians/repairers won't touch it with a barge pole! I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a quick fix to silence the alarm or convince the car that the door is infact shut!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not played with one personally but I would expect that if you disconnect the light switch it would stop the trigger. That sounds a bit Haynes Manual but I can't see in ETKA any door switches.
Is the light off when the alarm triggers? Has the light unit been damaged?

Hi Gavin, thanks for the response. No, the light unit hasn't been damaged. The light is on when the alarm triggers but is blinking as if it is a poor connection. Have just turned off the light and tried again, but the alarm is still soundingComment

Hi Greg, I have tried shorting out the the pairs in the wiring loom going into the door to no avail. Are you able to be a little more specific re the door switch. I've got the door trim off but there doesnt appear to be anything obvious!Comment
