hi can any one help ,warning on dash says i have a door open (there is not a door open)when i try to set my alarm it keeps going off.also my interior lights is also on, could it be a door senser ?its a five door car.many thanks

yeh it sounds like the door sensor to me, cus its a newish car im assumin, should be under warranty.

cool can you get an 8 year warranty? (im assuming 02 is the year)

check the sensor in the doors by having one door open at a time (including the boot) and push on the sensor to see if it cancels out the warning light

oooops, i thought that was meant to mean freelander 2. hehehe. autobagger, dont be silly, an 8 year warranty is v. unlikely, hehehe my bad.

it is 8yr old no warranty.cannot see any sensers they must be inside all the doors .that will mean taking all of them to bits ,have also tried one door at a time also the tail gate door.thanks

[cazzz1975]

the sensors are normally in the a post where the hinges are not where the door lock/handle is

cheers cazz1975 will have good look tomorrow, thanks for your help

Hi, , when you open the door look at the lock retainer on the pillar itself there is are plastic plungers on each metal catch on the pillar, try each one in-turn.

I believe The freelanders also have a switch under the bonnet , this may be worth checking to make sure the switch has not moved (it shud have a rubber grommet over it by the bulkhead ), also the tailgate glass needs to be closed properly as that also has a switch on it to move the glass into position after you have closed it , is it anything to do with the icy weather we are having ?? i would certainly check those first off especially the heated rear door glass to make sure its functioning properly , you can also trick it with a screwdriver to make it thinks its closed when its open . just flick the switch in the lock with a screwdriver! and then check it , best of luck .
