Did you check to see if someone has switched the light to "on at all times" rather than "on when doors are open" :D

na, i check that..lol

now the switch is off..

but wen set to turn wen doors open, the light will stay on evan wen everything is close, plus the door light on the dash stays on too!!

so pretty much every time i drive now the dash door light is on...

i no..lol

its got one wire coming out of the door switch..i think it was just red..

it was stil plug in and looked fine..from wat i can..is there a door module, or something lik that in r33's???

my alarm is connect the the interior light..could it be a short, or a lose wire??

i gota look from my alarm mod. and wer those wires connect to..

sounds very much like a door switch issue

check both of them

when they are open they complete the circuit by using the body of the car for the earth

it could also be in the light assembly

its hard to diagnose it with out looking at the car

but its not a real complex system so just go through it slowly and you'll find it eventually

still on..cant seem to find my alarm wiring harness..

i no its connected to the door sensor switch..

coz wen i un-armd the alarm..for the 30 secs the interior light comes on..

den after 30 secs..it switch off..and the imbolizr..turns back on too..

so i think its shorting out der wer the ..

lose wire or something..

anyone ever had problem with the door switch before?

or got an idea wer to start lookin for this wiring?

i think the problem has somethin to do wit my boot light!!!!

would that keep the door light on???

becoz, i was drivin last nit, wen i notice a bit light comin out of my boot, coz i could c light coming from the air vents, that go into the boot, under the rear window..

so i had to take the bulb out to turn it off..

any ideas..

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
